Christmas Prayer

Merry Christmas Prayer
How did God show his love for us?
He sent his one and only Son into the world.
He sent him so we could receive life through him.

1 John 4:9 NIRV

Treasuring this truth today deeply as we got a phone call yesterday that you don’t ever want to get. We found out our Aunt was killed in a car accident and our Uncle is in hospital with broken pelvis. Every emotion becomes heightened as we process and enter the stages of grief…denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and somehow acceptance…

We grieve deeply and call out to Jesus with this prayer… Fill our homes with your presence, Lord…
Fill our eyes with Your light.
Fill our songs with Your joy.
Fill our hearts with Your love.
Fill our mouths with Your truth.
Fill our minds with Your mission.
Fill our spirits with Your courage.
Fill our homes with Your presence.
