This morning Hope spoke from Acts 28:21-24.

Jo then led the time of prayer, praying for God to:

• Help us to be brave and step out in faith, telling our non-Christian family and friends about the real meaning of Christmas

• Help us to not feel deflated when we feel our conversations about our faith make no impact and help us rely on you to give us the right words to say

• Even though this has been a tough year for many, remind us that you are in control and we can rely on your strength when we feel we have none

Thank you God that you are a God that cares about the individual and that you want a personal relationship with each one of us
