God With Us

Opening Prayer

Lord, you humbled yourself to come among us in human flesh, and opened the way to salvation.

Scripture

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. -Isaiah 7:14

Reflection

Holy Spirit, kindle the flame of our faith. Grow us in joy. By your gracious visitation, lighten the darkness of our hearts.

Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for your deep love to send your Son, Jesus.

Jesus came humbly and quietly so that we can have salvation.

It was enough to come and offer a covering for our sins, yet you also are our Emmanuel: “God is with us”.

Because you are with us, we can walk in peace, love, joy and courage.

Because you are with us, we don't have to walk in anxiety or fear.

And Lord, because you are with us, we feel empowered to “go and make disciples of ALL nations because you are with us until the end of the age.

We praise you that we are never alone when doing your work.

You are always with us from the beginning.

In a weary and broken world, our ultimate response is to worship you.

Closing Prayer

Behold we are the servants of the Lord. Let it be to us according to your word. May we rest in the peace that the darkness can never extinguish the light that has been given to us.
