Prayer List
We believe in a God who knows our fears.
We believe in a God who says, “Be not afraid.”
We believe in a God who kicks off her shoes
and wades into the muck of our lives with us.
We believe in a God who stitches herself to our heels, and invites us to dance.
We believe in a God who hemmed stars into the night sky so that we can find our way home,
and who sends us friends with open doors,
so we can find our way to love.
We believe in a God who finds us in our fear
and does not leave us alone.
Thanks be to God for a love like that.
Amen.

- those who feel despair and for the light to shine in every heart and crevice
- signs of hope, peace, and joy in these Advent days
- Every encounter, generous offer of care and compassion that alleviates fear and moves the world closer to God’s reign of peace.
