Father, as this year draws to a close and ethnic and religiousemotions are stirred around the world, please bless us with peace.Give us a deep sense of your love and presence. Shepherd us in yourgrace. At the same time, rekindle in our hearts your desire tobring all people together in peace through salvation in Jesus.Please bless your children throughout the world who are lovinglysharing your gospel to a culture other than their own. Bless themas they are apart from their families. Most of all, bless them withthe joy of their desire -- using them to lead someone to salvationduring this holiday season.
Father in heaven, I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord. I trust that hedied for my sins. I believe that he could have come down off the Crossbut instead chose to suffer death for me and then was raised to lifefor my salvation. In Jesus, I put my trust.
O loving God, you have been so generous with me and blessed mewith so many incredible blessings. Thank you! Stir in my heart anawareness of the joy of giving. Make my heart more like your own,generous and gracious. Break down the anxiety and miserliness thatsometimes cloud my vision and keep me from sharing my time, money,energy, and love as I should. Thank you for showing me how to begenerous in Jesus.
I pray this in the name of Jesus, my Savior and Lord. Amen.
