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.
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:
