Prayers of Approach
Not Just for Christmas
In our times of darkness, Christ comes with his light.
In our moments of loneliness, Christ comes to walk with us.
In our experiences of loss, Christ comes to share our pain.
In our times of emptiness, Christ comes to fill us.
In our experiences of brokenness, Christ comes to hold us.
In our times of delight and despair, of joy and sorrow,
of faith and of doubt,
Christ still comes—for me and for you.
No matter who we are or what we have done,
Christ comes. Amen.
Ready for Christmas
Heavenly Father,
we praise you for all you have shown us in Jesus,
now we know that you are not far away.
We thank you that though we cannot see you,
you have promised that
no matter who or what we are,
no matter what we have done or failed to do,

We praise you that he has opened the way to real life now

and the joy we share in celebrating the arrival of Jesus.
We are all the more thankful that it is not just a story
but a message of the birth of the Saviour of the world.
Forgive us, Father, if we spend so much time
preparing to enjoy ourselves
that we forget those who will have no joy this Christmas.
Forgive us that as we decorate our homes
we forget those who have no home.
Forgive us if, as we welcome the baby in the manger,
we forget he is the man on the cross.
We make our prayer in the name of Jesus,
who came and still comes. Amen.
Christmas Eve
Lord, we are preparing to celebrate your birthday
but we find it so easy to forget why you came.
We sing our carols and say our prayers
but when we open our presents and spend time with our
family and friends,
we find it so hard to make space for you.
We know that Christmas loses its meani...
