The journey continues
weariness felt to the bone
feet burn, back in pain
get back up before rested
Why should I continue
journey is much harder
journey is much longer
Why should I continue
The light of the star calls
makes it easier to step out
to put one foot before other
I will continue the journey

I pray my God that there would be no screaming in the streets!
That the young girl could walk safely the streets of our towns.
That young boys could play safely in their yards and streets.
That the aged could walk and be treated with respect.
I pray my God that parents would care about their kids.
They would teach them to love and honor You.
And then their kids could honor their parents.
And all could livelong in the land together.
I pray my God for those who seek to keep the peace.
That they would be just as they bring about justice.
That they would be protected by Your power my God.
That they can return to their families at day’s end.
I pray my God for those who care in fire and suffering.
Protect them as they rush to bring help and comfort.
May they be protected by Your power my God.
So they can return to their families at day’s end.
I pray my God for those who serve in the military.
Protect each of them as they protect all of us.
Keep them from physical and emotional harm.
Let them return safely to their family at tours end.
I pray my God for those who share Your hope in danger.
Loving even those who would kill them enough to share.
May they ever be in the palm of Your hand my God.
May they be safe under Your Altar and before Your face.
I pray my God for those who do not know You.
Give us words to share and a heart to care!
Draw them through Your Holy Spirit to You.
That they may see the face of God one day.
I pray my God for the enemies of Your Church.
Though they kill and destroy all the day long.
May You break their heart and save their souls.
That they too may see the face of God one day.
I pray my God for Your beloved Body the Church!
Awake us from our slumber and from our lethargy.
Put a fire in our heart and cleanse us from sin
That many more may see Your face one day!
I pray my God for You to be glorified in me!
May the world see the wonder of God clearly.
May Your light dispel the darkness that destroys.
And be so bright that they will see Your face!
This is my prayer oh my God! Hear the cry of the hurting! Hear the cry of those being sold into slavery! Hear the cry of those addicted to things that crush their soul. Hear the cry of those whose bodies are in pain and those whose minds are in pain. Hear the cry of those who hate and yet desire love! Hear the cry of those who don’t know what to cry out for! May You be glorified and honored now and forevermore my God, my heart and my love! This is my cry my God! So be it!

I look into His eyes seeing the fullness of time
He looks at me and He sees deep into my soul
All I am and have done lies naked in His gaze

I am okay - I am accepted - the Child loves me

Begin the journey to Bethlehem
Joining with the many seeking
Those on the trail to Bethlehem
In the footsteps from 2,000 years
The wise followed the Stars path
Blazing a trail we follow today
Yet we still find our own path
We must have our own journey
Our journey includes our family
Though we have our own journey
Our physical and spiritual family
Surrounding us on our pilgrimage
Many will not complete the journey
They will tire from the daily travel
This is a daily and grinding journey
Others get distracted by bright lights
Look forward to seeing the Christ Child
Seeing God's Son wrapped in virgin flesh
The love of God offered to us as a Child
As an nonthreatening offering of peace

Sharing Your Faith
God may give you the chance to share your faith with those that you meet each day. Please take time to prepare yourself for this wondrous opportunity. Prepare yourself with prayer for the Holy Spirit to speak through you.
"But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. (Mark 13:11 NKJV)
God knows their heart and yours and will give you the words to share something meaningful for you both. Here are some tips to help prepare you.
1. Please be in prayer that many will come to you and give you the opportunity to share with them. Our prayers are the first and most important part of being able to share our faith. As you pray remember those you know and call upon the Holy Spirit to prepare their hearts to receive the love and forgiveness of Jesus.
2. Help them recognize their need! Some will be emotionally touched and will seek a release, but for an eternal change there must be recognition they need God and that they need to change.
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, (Romans 3:23 NKJV)
3. We need not debate theology, or to answer endless questions, but just share our faith. Share how Jesus has made a difference in your life. If they seek to argue DON’T! No one can be argued into being a Christian. Keep them on track to receiving Jesus. You can even call on them to try out Jesus. Jesus Himself told the disciples to “Come, and see!”
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” (John 3:16-17 NKJV)
4. Make them acquainted with the passage below. Over the next days Satan will try to tell them they are not saved. They are too bad, they didn’t do it right, or that God doesn’t really care. Share this promise and it will be something they can hang on to in the days ahead!
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9 NKJV)
5. Invite them to a Church where they can be discipled. IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE YOUR CHURCH! If their family goes somewhere else that is fine. Try to get at least their name so you can pray for them. If you can, get their address and we can send them a card in a few days. If they desire to go to a certain church let that church know so they can reach out to them.
6. If the person you are with needs deeper counseling please look for help! Some may need professional counseling! Don’t be afraid to ask for help!
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!
During December people may come to church who either have never been or have not been in awhile. Pastors at times will take this opportunity to chastise them. This is so sad. This is a time to encouage them and even share the grace of God with them. Below is a guide to sharing your faith with someone.
But be careful! Just share who God is to you and what He has done for you. Prepare a testimony lasting no more than 2-3 minutes to share. The sheet below is a guide to help you.
If you reach out the holy Spirit will help and guide you.
Pray for words to speak and for them to have ears to hear before sharing.
Pray to be open to the Holy Spirit as you share.
When you leave them pray God will nourish the seed you planted.
