“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is  God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”    

1 Thess 5:16-18

Exalt the Lord who…

• is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end
• became flesh and lived among us
• gave us the right to become children of God

Give thanks to God for …

• the birth of our Saviour over 2,000 years ago
• His grace, mercy and truth which reign supreme
• the love He shows in His wonderful gift, Jesus
• the opportunities we have to reflect that love

Petition God to…

• continue to heal the broken-hearted (name those known)
• loose the chains of injustice and oppression at home and abroad
• provide for the needy of body, mind or soul (name those known)
• strengthen the weary, especially those struggling to care for others in this    pandemic

Remembering that a God is able…

• to complete the work he started in us
• to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine, according to His power that   Is at work within us.

In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen
