A Christmas Prayer Written On The Heart
Most Precious Lord Jesus, Gentle And Wonderful God, Truly Awesome And
Ever-present Holy Spirit,
Precious Lord Jesus, I love you.
I love the story of your birth.
Every time I hear or read the story of your birth, instill in me a sense
of the story's deeper meaning.
No one but you, Lord, could have molded and shaped the circumstances of
such a story as this.
The story of your precious birth is told over and over each Christmas
season.
May this story ring true and be fully written on my heart and life.
May every word of your truth in your scripture ring true and be written on
my heart and life.
May I be able to feast upon the story of your birth.
May I also be reminded of your death upon the cross.
May the story of your birth and life change me, mold me, and shape me to
be a more humble child in your sight.
In whatever way that is possible, may the gentle peace of the story of
your birth change my heart in the deepest possible way.
In whatever way that is possible, may you bestow upon me a way to shine
the light of your love to others, just as the star of Bethlehem shone its
light over the place where you were born.
Thank you for working in the life of your blessed apostle Matthew who gave
us this account of your coming into the world.
Thank you for preserving these words of yours that are such a blessing to
us these many years later.
Thank you for making my life so much richer and fuller.
Thank you for being the true light of my world.
All these things I humbly pray in the name of my most Blessed Lord Jesus
Christ, my Mighty God, and my Ever-present Holy Spirit upon whom I can
rely.
Amen |
