January Prayers | Let the work of Christmas Begin

The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me….to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.
— -Luke 4:19

DEAR FRIENDS,

As we awake into this new year, may we pause. May we pause to remember that we are beloved and our greatest calling is to indwell that love daily. We look forward to doing the work of Christmas together this year.

When the Song of the Angels Is Stilled
When the song of the angels is stilled,
When the star in the sky is gone,
When the kings and the princes are home,
When the shepherds are back with their flocks,
The work of Christmas begins:
To find the lost,
To heal the broken,
To feed the hungry,
To release the prisoner,
To rebuild the nations,
To bring peace among people,
To make music in the heart.
