"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want... He restores my soul" (Psalm 23:1-3).
Lord, may we receive Your peace. Peace in our homes, peace in our churches and peace in our hearts, especially when it feels like the world all around us spins out of control. Amen.

[if714 @if714]

"Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations" (Isaiah 42:1). Immanuel, ransom Your people from their bondage to sin and deliver them from the nations for the glory of Your Name.

[if714 @if714]

Thank you, God, for sending Your Son to be born of a virgin, to live a perfect life, and to die on the cross for my sins. Thank you that He rose from the dead three days later and that this and every Christmas we can celebrate the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Amen.

Your name is still called ‘Wonderful,’ ‘Counselor,’ ‘The Mighty God,’ ‘The Everlasting Father,’ and ‘The Prince of Peace.’ As Your children, we cry out for a fresh filling, and a new awareness of Who You are.

[if714 @if714]

O God, you were pleased to announce the coming of your Son with choirs of angels who proclaimed with their song, "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth to people he favors!" May we live for Your Glory, that at your Son's second coming we may rejoice before him.

Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King:
peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!"
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
join the triumph of the skies;
with th'angelic hosts proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"

~Charles Wesley

"My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior" (Luke 1:46-47).
Heavenly Father, enable us to delight in this little child who is now the King of kings, and to show our love for Him through our obedience. In Jesus' name, Amen.

[if714 @if714]

O holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us, we pray; cast out our sin, and enter in, be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel!
~Phillips Brooks

During the Christmas season, pray for our missionary brothers and sisters in Christ to be full of love and a zeal for the Lord and the furtherance of the gospel. Pray that through their lives and message many will believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved.

[if714 @if714]

This Christmas, pray for military families to be strengthened by God during seasons of separation from their service member, and to be united together in God's love.

[if714 @if714]

Lord Jesus, as I celebrate salvation in Your name, help me to be "God with skin on" to those in need around me. Open my eyes and let me see them as You see them and grant me a heart of compassion. Amen.
#Matthew9:36

[if714 @if714]

"May the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful" (Psalm 68:3).
Pray for pastors to shine like lights among the people of this world and to delight in the God of their salvation!

[if714 @if714]

Purify our hearts Lord. “No more let sin and sorrow grow, nor thorns infest the ground; he comes to make his blessings flow far as the curse is found.” ~Isaac Watts

[if714 @if714]

"He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God."
#Psalm98 #JoytotheWorld
We rejoice in the anticipation of the arrival of our Savior and King, Jesus Christ!

[if714 @if714]

For those who grieve this Christmas season, we pray that the Comforter will abide with each one favoring them with grace, truth, and peace.

[if714 @if714]

"I see him, but not now; I perceive him, but not near.
A star will come from Jacob, and a scepter will arise from Israel" (Numbers 24:17).

Pray that Israel will understand the prophecies in Scripture, see their Messiah, turn, and be saved.

[if714 @if714]

“Nothing tends more to cement the hearts of Christians than praying together. Never do they love one another so well as when they witness the outpouring of each other’s hearts in prayer.” Charles Finney
Father, we ask for a deeper desire to prayer and intercession, in Jesus name.

[if714 @if714]

Jesus, thank you for loving me enough to temporarily shed your glory and become a man so you could pay for my sin and save me to the uttermost!

[if714 @if714]

Pray for fresh power in the hearts of God's people this Christmas to glorify and praise God for everything that He has done. Confess any religious spirit that has a form of godliness but denies the power.

[Julie Sunne @JulieSunne1]

In His infinite love, the Lord provides for all our needs.

"How priceless your faithful love is, God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings. They are filled from the abundance of your house. You let them drink from your refreshing stream." Psalm 36:7-8 CSB
