We thank you for being our Emmanuel, our "God who Dwells In and Among Us."
We are grateful for our undeserved grace
and for your continually drawing us closer to You.
We trust that in following You in our lives, we would be always be seized
and transformed by the power of your Spirit
to become extensions of your blessings to our world,
to our community, to our families and to our selves.
Enable us to respond to the needy
with integrity, compassion and love
and to always desire to be conduits of your grace to all people.
Inspire us always, as we try to model our lives after your son,
who emptied out Himself and who laid down our life for us.
We surrender our entire selves to you
transform us closer to your image and likeness!
Grant us the courage, the love and the grace that we need
as we journey with one another in realizing your kingdom here on earth.
