This week's closing song is When Hope Came Down.

The Weekly Blessing:

May the Hope of Christmas give you joy this week. 

May that joy give your hands and feet strength 

Should they grow cold or tired while ringing the bell outside of Walmart. 

May your eyes be filled with wonder and your heart full of contentment

As you enjoy the magic of this season.

This week, may your heart be filled with gratitude for the dreams, angels and stars

That God has used to bring the message of hope into your life. 

These are the miracles of love that point us to Jesus. 

May you find overwhelming joy in worshiping and giving generously at the manger this Christmas season.

And this week, in your everyday normal life, may you become a dream, an angel or a star

To someone searching for the hope and joy that is found only in Jesus. 

Amen

This week's closing song is Everlasting Light by Mosaic

The Blessing this week:

This week may God fill your heart with a deep desire to pray. 

May you experience a longing in your soul to encounter God through this great mystery. 

For those of you facing a difficult decision, may you pray with great patience,

Waiting on the peace that is beyond your understanding and comes from the Holy Spirit. 

For those of you in the middle of anxiety and fear as you think about the future, 

May you pray fiercely, believing that your prayers can produce strength for the pain ahead. 

For those of you finding yourselves at the end of your hope, at the height of loneliness or disappointment, 

May you find the courage to pray honestly, to be vulnerable before God, 

Having confidence that your prayers are not met with indifference but with compassion. 

And may all of us believe like Jesus:

That even when our expectations of prayer go unmet, 

We can choose to trust that the experience of prayer will always makes a difference 

in us, in others and in our circumstances. 

As you continue, begin or restart down the path of prayer this week, 

May God fill you with authentic hope and divine wisdom for the journey. 

Amen

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

CLOSING SONG: Reckless Love by Cory Asbury

The Blessing:

Today as you leave this room, log off your computer or end this podcast,

May you find yourself consumed by the love of God. 

May you have the confidence in Christ to acknowledge your need for forgiveness.

May you understand the healing power of repentance. 

For those of you consumed by resentment and the desire for revenge, 

May you accept that the person who created the wound is incapable of healing that wound. 

May you trust that only God can heal and make your wounds sacred. 

May we all come to believe like Jesus:

That divine forgiveness is the foundation for holistic health and healing.

As you find the faith to forgive others, 

May God grow in you compassion, empathy and grace for those who have wounded you.

And now, God, our Father, the heavenly householder of the world, 

May your reputation be honored through our actions this week. 

May our actions bring your will, your vision of this world, from heaven to earth this week.

Meet our daily needs.

Open our hearts and hands so that we might meet the daily needs of others.

Forgive us of our wounding as we forgive those who wound us.

And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from our selfish desires.

Amen.

This week's closing song is Goodness of God.

The Blessing:

I pray that, according to the riches of God’s glory, God would strengthen you

in your inner being with power through the Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love.

I pray that you may have the power to understand, along with all creation, what is the breadth and length and height and depth of God’s Perfecting Love.

And may you KNOW this love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Now to the God of our Lives who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to this God be glory in the lives of ordinary Peacemakers everywhere and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
