A Christmas Prayer
During the Christmas season I want to share a prayer from our latest book, Warfare Prayers For Women. May it inspire you to voice your own prayer as we commemorate the birth of our Savior.
Christmas Remembrances
Dear Jesus, what a glorious time of year it is when we stop to celebrate Your birth. Though the world has greatly commercialized the season, this special holiday bears Your name.
Help me, by example, to teach my children and grandchildren the importance of honoring You on this day we set aside to remember Your birthday. Bless the families who gather to enjoy the holiday together. And for those who have conflicts and tensions among them, help them make peace with one another.
May my family boldly share with others the real meaning of Christmas by how we act and what we say. I pray that multitudes around the world will receive You as Savior and Lord during this memorable time. Christmas truly is a yearly milestone for me.
Thank You, Jesus, for coming to earth as the promised Messiah to become our Redeemer, Amen.
Scriptures
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. (Isaiah 9:6-7 NIV)
An angel of the Lord appeared to [Joseph] in a dream and said, “…She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). (Matthew 1:20-23 NIV)
