Heavenly Father,
We praise you for the glory of Christmas and the celebration of the birth of your son, our savior, Jesus. This Baby King arrived in humble surroundings and became the Messiah, the sinless one whose obedience remains our greatest gift.
We honor you, King Jesus, for taking on the sins of man. As we remember your birth, we once again rejoice in the faith of your earthly parents whose trust in our Heavenly Father remains a model for all of us.
Help us to make the spirit of Christmas an everyday occasion for us. Let our hearts be continually warmed by the thought of your birth. Equip us to give continually of our time, talents, and resources to serve our fellow man.
O most loving and gracious God, Father of us all, pour out your blessings upon us. We seek your favor and pledge to be your obedient and loving children.
In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
