God as we head into Christmas, we find ourselves caught up in all things of this season: stress, joy, remembered grief, comfort, shopping frenzy, rest, time spent with loved ones. Into all of these things we ask You to come--to hear these prayers of Your people, a weary, exultant, loving, dysfunctional people clinging to the hope only You can bring:
Please help me let go of the past. May thoughts like “I am who I am at my worst” haunt me no more.
Lord,
I praise you for who you are and I thank you for your abundant blessings. Lord, I want to know you better--not your laws or blessings but you. I want to fall in love with you & to feel butterflies in my stomach when I think about you. I know that is your desire. Help me to no longer be a detriment to that kind of relationship.
OH Father
As the time of year comes to remember Your gift to us I commit all the doors that You open for me as examples of Your undieng Love for Your children
Please give a prayer of thanksgiving for my family members coming together at Christmas. Please pray that those without family know they are loved at Christmas & everyday. Please pray for faith & peace in my friend -----------’s heart.
Thank you.
Lord God, Immanuel,
I’m seeking after your will, both fearfully and with hope. Show me how to approach your will with joy and willingness.
Lord, bless your leaders in ministry. Bring hope and strength to the suffering and wisdom to those who can bring change. Come Lord Jesus.
God, thank you for the love, for keeping me safe, for providng so much opportunity. For all those who have opened their hearts to me.
I am better but I am not well I will be
Thank you stay with me
Please pray for all those who are mourning the loss of a loved one.
Pray for the people who are:
1. Emotionally paralyzed
2. Psychologically paralyzed
3. Spiritually paralyzed
to be set free to move forward.
LET GOD’S PEOPLE RETURN TO HIM AND START OVER.
I am thankful for the celebration of the birth of Christ as it reminds of the fulfillment of the promise of redemption, I am thankful for my life in Christ. Everyday I try to live in His grace, Thankful for His blessings. I pray that I may share Christ’s love & the joy of his birth with others this Christmas season.
“Nothing is impossible with the love of God”
Pray for steadfastness and total commitment in our trust of the Lord.
Prayers 4 my family, friends, I know, I have a job but I need a second Job, so I can help take care of my daughter and grandson, prayer I can go back to school and good health
DEAR GOD
THANK U FOR EVRTHING
(My son wrote “Thank you God for everything” on the other side. And thank you for everything you do).
everything is murky…
people sleep under a bridge & it’s freezing out.
15 million + people unemployed.
thousands w/o a loved one b/c of war…
so many hungry, hurting, lonely
when shall it be so?
I know it’s selfish but Lord, I want to be married to a good man. I want to be a mother. Guide me.
Please keep warm my brothers and sisters who are homeless. I worry for them every time I feel the chill.
Please be with my friend ------------ who is new to this city and knows almost no one. May she not feel alone.
God, it appears I need help. Make it easier please to have faith & believe
Jesus I am impatient for this year to be over. I need to make so many changes & I have said that before…but now I feel a new determination. Help me change, a little bit at a time.
Bring Your healing to all of us, and especially -------------, -------------, ---------------, --------------, ------------, --------------, --------------, & so many others. Heal our hearts.
A prayer for those stuck away from home, and for those who have no home to go too.
Guide me to The Good.
Come, Lord Jesus, Come--come again and again into our midst, into these prayers, these yearnings for all things new and full of hope. Rejoice with us over our triumphs, and weep with us as we repent of our failures. Empower us to believe that You are who You say You are--Emmanuel, God-with-us. Bring Your kingdom into being, right here, right now, and use us to make it happen. Amen.
