Dear Lord,
As we celebrate the birth of Your Son, Jesus Christ, during this Christmas season, we offer You our thanks and praise. We are grateful for the love and grace You have shown us through the gift of Your only begotten Son.
As we reflect on the meaning of Christmas, we humbly ask that You help us to understand the depth of Your love for us. We pray that the true message of Christmas, the message of salvation and redemption, would be deeply felt in our hearts and lives.
We ask that You bless us and our loved ones during this special time of year. We pray for peace, joy, and love to fill our homes and hearts. We also lift up those who are suffering, so that they may find hope and comfort in You.
We give You all the glory, honor, and praise. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
