Prayers

Christmas prayer

"Loving Father, Help us remember the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the song of angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and the worship of the wise men. Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world. Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting.

Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings, and teach us to be merry with clean hearts. May the Christmas morning make us happy to be Thy children, and the Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts, forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus' sake, Amen!"

by Robert Louis Stevenson

Lord Jesus,

Please forgive me for being so grumpy as I trudge through the never-ending tasks set before me this holiday season...

My to-do list seems to keep growing with shopping, church services, and family gatherings---and I'm running short of time!

Restore the joy of Christmas to my heart . . .and help me to relax each day and make time for YOU--my one true Source of Joy.

 
Henry Van Dyke

As we venture into this season, let us never forget the real meaning of Christmas. It is our prayer that you to have the best holiday season ever!

May God’s blessing be upon you, and your family.
