God of Joy

There is so much to celebrate when we think of you and your creation.  You have done so much for us and your blessings are unlimited.  Joy to the World, we sing at Christmas time.  But, Lord, we do know that there are many people  without joy in their lives or their spirits.  There are places where joy is very hard to find.

In our prayers this week, we think of all those whose lives are lived in sorrow and desperation, in fear and in dark places, in danger and without the hope of a decent future.

Show us where we can begin to make a difference.  Give us the courage to follow the joyful Jesus in the dance of life that he gives us. 

Amen
