Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for making salvation so simple that a young child can understand. I pray for those in my life who have not learned to place their trust in You. Please send the Holy Spirit to work in their hearts and give me the words to say to them. Thank You for Your loving instructions.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You again for the instructions You give. Please help us to have the appropriate love for one another. Please help us to be diligent servants. Seeing the fruits of joy and patience as we continue in prayer. Please help us to see the needs of the saints and be hospitable.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the description of how You provide for the birds. Thank You for telling us that we are more valuable than the birds. Please remind us of the many ways You have provided. We forget too easily.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You “that Christ died for all”. I am convinced we don’t fully know what that means. Please help us to live for Jesus Christ and not ourselves. We are learning how wonderful living for the Christ really is.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
Dear Heavenly Father, humbling ourselves is a hard thing to do. We want to be independent and solve our own problems. We forget that Your loving mighty hand is controlling the details of our lives. Please help us to cast our anxieties on You. Thank You for caring and knowing what we need.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for being an example and showing us the love of Christ. Please help us to learn what it means to live as “beloved children”. We want love to feel good but sometimes love comes with challenges. Please help us to be willing to sacrifice for Your sake.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for providing Jesus. Holy God coming in the form of man, providing what we need to spend eternity with You. I am in awe of the miracle of a virgin birth so that God could be with us. Your love is beyond comprehension. Please help us to have the appropriate awe and thankfulness for this wonderful gift.
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
Dear Heavenly Father, I am in awe that You would send Your one and only Son to come to earth. He was born as a baby in such humble circumstances – a manger. Thank You for showing such awe inspiring love and giving us a reminder at Christmas each year. We praise Your name!
I pray this in Jesus’ name.
God is so good.
