A Christmas Prayer


A Christmas Prayer


Father God,

Soon it will be the eve of your Son's birthday.  We have decorated in honor of the memory that your only Son  was  born to the world in human flesh.  He was tempted in all like manner as we have been tempted but  without sin.  Your motive is and was love and mercy where none was deserved.  That first Christmas you celebrated your Son's holy birth with the rejoicing of angels and a bright star to lead those seeking to worship.  You lead worshipers to the stable where Jesus was born.  His birth was one of the most amazing miracles of all time because you came to us in human flesh in the form of your Son, Emanuel, God with us.  You were conceived  miraculously  of the Holy Spirit and born to the virgin Mary.  As we pause to honor you Lord, on this Christmas day.  We want to thank you for all the blessings in which you have blessed us.  Thank-you for  the love of fellow believers and the example of your love that they show each and every day.  I pray that we could exemplify your love in a way that would be pleasing and edifying to others that witness the light of your Son in our hearts.  We all have things to learn and to overcome.  Please help us to show the love and long suffering towards others even if it seems undeserved.  Just as we have not deserved the great gift of your Son to the world.  Thank you dearly for family and the many wonderful years that you have given us to enjoy them and love them.   Help us to love them in the same unconditional love that you have shown us.  Give us wisdom in what we say and what we do each day.  That we would not be a stumbling block to anyone that comes within our reach.  Like the wise men who followed the star, Dear Savior, I pray you remind us daily to seek your will and your purpose through the pages of your Holy Word, which is a light unto our path.  You are the Light of the world and also the day star arising in our hearts.  I pray you fill our hearts with the desire to worship you and follow your footsteps and in so doing be the light of the world you intend for us to be.  Thank-you for You, Thank-you for Christmas and thank-you for your most merciful love towards us that has no end.

Happy Birthday.

Amen:

2Peter 1:19
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

A Christmas Prayer


 

A Christmas Prayer

(for the hurting in Connecticut)
Lord Jesus,
It will be.......
a sad Christmas this year.
filled with sorrow............
and many, many tears.
Hurting families ..........
longing for their children.
May your love..........
reach out and comfort them.
Lord Jesus,
Let not fear..........
torment their heart and soul.
May your grace...........
heal  them and make them whole.
May your angels...........
collect the tears of grief.
And  our prayers........
restore much needed peace.
Impart your strength........
Your hope and tender care.
Because it will be.......
a sad Christmas this year.
