Jesus, born in a stable because there was no room in the inn;
We pray for the homeless
Jesus, born away from your hometown;
We pray for those away from their families this Christmas
Jesus, hunted by Herod;
We pray for those in danger, for those who live in war zones and those who are treated unjustly
Jesus, living as a refugee in Egypt;
We pray for all refugees in the world and for the situations they flea from
Jesus, visited by shepherds and wise men;
We pray that this Christmas, everyone who is lovely be visited by someone bringing comfort
Jesus, preacher and teacher;
We pray for all those who search for a meaning in life, may you provide them with people to guide them
Jesus, healer and deliverer;
We pray for healing for all those who are ill this Christmas
Jesus, born as one of us;
We pray today that peace, hope and love of you be known and felt around the world.
Jesus, we pray to you knowing that you hear us,
that you intercede for us
and that you answer our prayers.
Amen

I think these are wonderful - simple and direct. I've been looking for inspiration for this evening so will use them. Hope you don't mind! Andrew
