Our Prayer This Christmas

Lord, we lift this
prayer to You
as Christmas comes
this year:
That our friends
and family will know Your love,
and will feel Your
presence near.
Grant them peace
and happiness
each day ‘til You
return.
If they don’t know
Your mercy,
Lord,
we pray that they
will learn.
Give them strength
to live each day
as if there were
no more.
If their faith in
You has faltered,
we pray their hope
You will restore.
Remind them of
Your sacrifice –
of the price You
had to pay –
So they could have
eternal life.
Please save them
all we pray.
Lord, there’s one
more thing we ask –
one more thing we
have to say:
Please wrap them
in Your loving arms
on this blessed
Christmas Day.
Amen!
