A Christmastime Prayer



Prayer:
Lord, it's that time of year again. 
Help us remember that every day is Christmas. We are to live for Christ every day and remember why he lived. It was so that he could die. Why did he die? For the forgiveness of all of our sins. What does that mean for us? We will have everlasting life. We will live forever with the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe--with the Shepherd and Bishop of our souls--with the Author and Finisher of our faith. 
Help us to remember it's not about what we do at Christmas. It's not about gifts. It's about time and remembrance. It's the time we remember what Jesus and his birth means for us. 
Lord, help us draw forever closer to you and help us to stop settling for a life of mediocrity. We want to live a life of excellence in you and in your Word. For us to live any other way is to forget and overlook why Jesus was born. 
Help us to take our faith seriously.
Help us to read the Word and pray it every day. 
Help us not to forget the blessings and gifts you have given us this past year while we prepare for a new year of worshipping and serving you.
You are Immanuel. You are with us--always. 
Lord, please fulfill the Great Commission through us in the United States of America on or by 31 December 2026.
Thank you for all you do. You are truly the God who Provides--Jehovah Jireh. 
Christmas is a time to worship you. Help us not to forget to do so.
