If you were to give your loved ones and friends the gift of prayer for Christmas, what would it include? This is especially hard to do when a relationship is troublesome. The place to start is asking God to soften your heart and give you peace so you can reflect the light of Jesus.
Pray that each one for whom you’re petitioning will be blessed by God’s special presence. Talk to God about what you’re thinking and feeling as you pray for each person. Ask God to heal the wounds they’ve received in life. “God commanded light to shine in darkness,” so remember you are the light made possible by Jesus and let your light shine. Merry Christmas and God bless you!
The true light that gives
light to everyone was coming into the world.
~John 1:9 Beck – New
Testament in the Language of Today
Because the heart of our God is full of mercy towards us, the first light of Heaven shall come and visit us – to shine on those who lie in darkness ... and to guide our feet into the path of peace.
~Luke 1:78-79 Phillips – New Testament in Modern English
First of all, then, I
urge that petitions, prayers, requests, and thanksgivings be offered to God for
all.
~1 Timothy 2:1 Good
News Bible
