It's Christmas today!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY (:
"The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned... For onto us a child is born"- Isaiah 9:2, 7Everyone should rejoice and be happy!
Dear God, I pray that during this time of Christmas I will be able to renew my relationship with You. I pray that I will be able to put away all the distractions, all the superficialities and all the false gods in my life and put You firmly in the centre. Let me be strong in the knowledge that as long as I put You as my number 1, everything will work out according to Your perfect plan. Just as there was no place for Jesus at the inn, I do not belong to this world. Let me always remember this. Let me always remember that I am to be a stranger, an alien in this land.
Dear God, Christmas is a time when we remember how Jesus was born to save us through His death. I pray that during this time, You will help me come to a deeper appreciation of Jesus' birth, life and death. I want to have a closer relationship with him, Lord. I pray that You will help me invite Jesus into my heart and into my life. Give me the determination to read the bible more, because I know that it only through the bible that I will learn the truth which will set me free.
Dear God, free me from the burdens of appearances and pride. I am always struggling against all these. I am tried of this, Lord. Teach me how to live like Jesus showed us to, teach me how to live to glorify Your name only!
Lord, You are my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.
Dear Jesus, come into my life this Christmas and stay forever.
Amen.
