Pray for Mexico on Sunday, December 20, 2009
Prayers for Mexico: Luke 2:1-14
God of grace, we bless your name during this Advent season when we anticipate the peace that you are bringing to our world. We ask that you might help us to make room in the inn of our heart for the Prince of Peace. Help us as well to be messengers of the good news of great joy which is for all of your people everywhere. Today we think of our partners in Mexico. We thank you for the work of reconciliation and unity that is taking place among the two Disciples of Christ denominations in Mexico. We pray as well for the joint round table for mission that the Disciples share with the Congregational Church. We thank you especially for the contribution of Justino and Zaida, our Global Ministries missionaries, in this important work. Bless our partners in Mexico as the seek to be agents of peace and messengers of good news. Amen
