The thoughts of many hearts will be revealed

  “This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. Luke:34-35 Almighty, living God, thank you for the greatest gift to mankind, your Son Jesus. Help us seek His words that give hope, inspiration and light to our lives as the darkness of this world increases. Help us live our lives letting His words influence our hearts, our thinking and our actions, and give direction to the course of our lives. May your Holy Spirit fill our hearts so that, the same love, mercy and goodness of Jesus can be revealed through our lives, I pray in His Holy Name. Amen

Let the light of your face shine on us

  Tremble and do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent. Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the Lord. Many, Lord, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?” Let the light of your face shine on us. Psalm 4:4-6 Lord God, lift up the light of your countenance upon me and let your light shine on me. Help me search my heart and hear your voice, remind me that you are bigger than any challenge I may face this year, O Lord. Remind me not to fear, but trust that you will bring prosperity in my life as I lovingly serve and obey your will, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen

Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Luke 2 :10-11 Sovereign Lord, we can't ever thank you enough for the good news of the birth of our Savior, we thank you that the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. Fill us with knowledge, understanding, wisdom and grace, compassion, and unconditional love, O God, help us treasure your word in our hearts and always be obedient to your will, I pray in Jesus' name.

Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests

  Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” Luke 2:13-14 Glory to you, O God in the highest heaven, for your amazing gift to all of us, for loving us with unconditional and eternal love. May your favor rest on us, O Lord, may your peace be with us as we glorify you, give you honor and praise, in the name of our wonderful Savior and Redeemer, Jesus, I pray. Amen

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.

  The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14 Dear Father God, thank you for loving the world so much that you gave your one and only Son, that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life at your blessed side. Help us remember in the busyness of the holiday season that it is because of your grace and mercy that we, who believe in your Son Jesus, have been saved through him. May we walk in righteousness in your sight, may we be a blessing to those around us and bring glory to your name, I pray in the precious name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen

The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel

  Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14 Merciful God, I thank you for the greatest gift to mankind, I thank you for the chance you have given us to reconcile through your Son, Jesus. Deliver us from unrighteousness by the blessing which Christ brings, O Lord, teach us to be merry with good and kind hearts and may our hearts rejoice as we remember his birth, not just this season, but every day, in his precious name I pray.

He made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness

  In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. Philippians 2:5-7 Lord Jesus, I humbly come before your throne of grace with a grateful heart, to thank you and give you praise for being my God, my Savior and my Redeemer. I ask forgiveness for my sins, O Lord. Make me your humble servant, guide my steps and help me walk in your likeness and help me keep my eyes focused on you regardless of what goes on around me, I pray. Amen

Yours, Lord, is the kingdom

  Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all.  1 Chronicles 29:11-13 Lord our God, ruler over all things, we give you thanks for all the wonderful blessings you have given us and for loving us before we were even born. We give you praise and glory for your amazing, unconditional love, the hope you have given us and for being patient with us. I ask that you will continue to be with us always  as we continue to trust in you and walk in your ways doing your will, in Jesus' name we pray. Amen

The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world

  The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him. John 1:9-10 God of mercy and love, thank you for sending your Son to give us the true light that we may not walk in darkness. Thank you for being merciful and full of compassion, for loving us as we are, with all our imperfections. Help us walk in the light of your love, O God, help us be a reflection of your love, mercy and compassion, not just this holiday Season, but always, I pray in Jesus name. Amen

The gift of God

  For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.

He has saved us and called us to a holy life

  The Lord always keeps his promises; he is gracious in all he does. The Lord helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads. The eyes of all look to you in hope.  Psalm 145:13-15 My God and King, you are merciful and compassionate, you keep your promises, which never fail. I will praise your name forever, I will meditate on your majestic, glorious splendor and your wonderful miracles. Thank you for sustaining me, O Lord, for helping me up when I fall and lifting me when I am so bent beneath the load that I feel that I cannot continue. May my faith and hope in you continue to grow as I continue to trust in you and keep my eyes on you, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen
