Dear Jesus,
I come to you this day asking for your guidance; guidance for all who read this as well. In this world it is hard to stand for You. It's hard to stand up for what is right. And it may even become confusing at times to know what "right" is.
In this season in which we celebrate the day You were born on earth, it is easy for us to lose sight of You, the reason for this joyous occasion. We can get so caught up in all the parties, parades and other festivities that we lose our focus.
Lord, help us to stand strong for what is right. Help us, even in, or especially in, our Christmas celebrations to do this in rememberance of You. Help us to show love to one another as You have shown us Your love. Help us find and seize the opportunities that You give us to help others for Your name's sake. Show us the true meaning of love. Wipe away all the clutter in our lives that we have let come between us. Restore us to a right relationship with You, Jesus. Forgive us of our selfish desires and our ignorance toward Your voice.
Thank you, Jesus for everything! For forgiving us even though we don't deserve to be forgiven. For healing us with Your mercy. For restoring us by Your grace. And keeping us according to your loving-kindness. Thank you for being more faithful to us than we, even at our best, are to You.
I love You Lord.
Amen
