Gathered in prayer, we stand in faith before the God who saves us.

Christ brought a new healing to the world. In faith we turn to God who takes away sin.

As those changed because we have met the Lord, let us pray in confidence to our just and merciful God:

We have confidence in the words of God. We listen to God’s Word, and offer our own words in prayer:

Let us place ourselves in the mercy of God as we offer these our prayers.

My sisters and brothers, as we present our needs to God, we listen in hope and anticipation for the voice of the Lord, who hears every prayer.

On our Lord Jesus Christ God’s favor rests. In faith and praise we offer our intercessions and respond, Glory to God!

The Magi brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Let us bring our prayers like gifts before the newborn king.

We are encouraged to do everything in the name of the Lord. In this hopeful spirit we bring our prayers before God, who loves us with a parent’s love.

Eternal God, your goodness endures through all generations, and nothing is impossible with you.
