Focus on Jesus

“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”—Luke 10:41–42 (NIV)
Give yourself the gift of letting go. Let go of the need to be perfect. Perfect gifts, perfect gatherings, planning the perfect day. When you focus on perfection you miss the most important part of the holiday. Instead, sit at Jesus’ feet and focus on Him.
Heavenly Father, tomorrow is Your day and I plan on keeping You the center of my celebration.

When you are feeling overwhelmed by challenges, turn to God’s Word. Ask Him to help you remove all your doubts. Fully rely on His strength for the encouragement and endurance you need to feel empowered and to be able to face what lies ahead.
Dear God, when I put my faith in You, I soar above my problems and find Your heavenly peace.

God Is with Us

The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel (which means “God with us”).—Matthew 1:23 (NIV)
God can transform an ordinary moment into an awakening experience. A beautiful sunrise, a perfectly timed yet unplanned meeting with a friend, a song on the radio that seems like a sign from beyond. When you open your heart to noticing God’s presence, you become aware of the beautiful fact that He is always with you.
Lord, thank You for the many ways You show me You are here.

A Blue Christmas

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.—Psalm 73:26 (NIV)
Many churches hold a Blue Christmas today, the shortest day of the year, to recognize that not everyone can embrace Christmas with anticipation. Some people may be struggling with loneliness, grief or the loss of a loved one. Today, pray for comfort for everyone with a grieving heart.
Dear Lord, bring comfort to all those feeling a sense of loss and loneliness. Enfold them in Your great love.

Cleanse Your Spirit

If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.—1 John 1:8–9 (NIV)
God always gives you the opportunity to start over, simply by acknowledging your wrongdoings to Him and asking for forgiveness. Pray for the courage to approach God with an open heart, and be ready to accept His life-changing cleansing.
