I live in an urban area and regularly encounter people who are homeless. Always hard to know how to really help these who suffer so much. In light of those who are in such pain this time of the year, please join me in praying this prayer from the Church of England.
God of compassion,
your love for humanity was revealed in Jesus,Draw near and comfort them in spirit
whose earthly life began in the poverty of a stable
and ended in the pain and isolation of the cross:
we hold before you those who are homeless and cold
especially in the bitter weather to come.
and bless those who work to provide themWe ask this in Jesus' name.
with shelter, food and friendship.
Amen.
