On this Christmas Eve we reflect on the journey to Bethlehem. It has been difficult and confusing at times. We have questioned if we would make it this far and even if God was with us along the way. As we prepare to meet Jesus face
to face, we give thanks for the great cloud of witnesses that have guided us to his manger. For whom do you give thanks this year?
Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nations, we travel with your family to the stable in Bethlehem, eager to meet you, heavy with expectation, longing for rest as we prepare for your inbreaking. Surround us with that great cloud of witnesses that upholds and instructs us, inspires and spurs us on until that day when we are all gathered around your heavenly throne in worship. Amen.
