Ladies, as Christmas quickly approaches, we wanted to just take a moment and invite you to pause and pray with us. Jimmie Lee DiIanni leads us in a prayer for Christmas 2015...
I am honored
to stand with you as one body and lift up this prayer for all of us, daughters
of the Most High King!
~Jimmie Lee
Father God,
Thank You
for the amazing gift of sending your Son, Jesus! You didn’t have to but You
did! Where would we be without Your love? If we climb to the heights, You are
there! If we find ourselves in darkness, You are there. You are always there.
Thank You that You have made a way for us. Thank You for the immeasurable gifts
You have given us through Jesus! You sent Him as a babe, in a lowly manger. But
He was our way out, a way out for all!
As we have
embarked on this season where the world tends to be more focused on You, I pray
that Jesus would shine through each one us. I pray that as Your humble servants,
we would be the love that Jesus is to others. Let us shake off the pretense and
everything that Christmas is not. Keep our eyes fixed on You, being Your hands
and feet. May we send forth Your love,
joy, peace, grace, mercy, and kindness to all.
I pray a blessing
over each family. May You strengthen marriages and relationships. May You keep
Your hedge of protection around our homes, our hearts, and our minds. May You
guide and direct our steps and decisions, giving us clarity and vision. Grant
us grace and peace, living in right standing with You, oh Lord. Encourage our
spirits as we go about our days serving You. Help us Lord, to be confident right
where we are, leaning on You for our identity and freedom! And Lord God, I ask
that You would quiet our hearts as we wait for You, speak life into us as we
enter into a new year.
You are a
good good Father, who sent His perfect Son to make new life for us. You are the
Faithful One, the Holy One who calls us His! Thank you Lord! In Jesus’ name… Amen!
“God you can
now release your servant:
Release me
in peace as you promised.
With my own
eyes I’ve seen your Salvation;
It’s now out
in the open for everyone to see:
A
God-revealing light to the non-Jewish nations,
and of glory for your people
Israel.”
Luke 2:29-32
