**Dear Lord,

As we celebrate Your birth, we look forward with hope to the year ahead.

We don’t know what it will bring, but we trust that You will be with us each step of the way.

May the joy and wonder of Christmas stick with us beyond this night, reminding us that You are Emmanuel, God with us.

Help us to walk in faith, to serve with love, and to live in hope.”

Christmas is more than a holiday tradition.

It is a time to worship with anticipation.

God sent You to remedy all wrongs.

We celebrate Your first coming, and we anticipate Your second coming.

Thank You !

Amen

Have a Blessed Night ! ?**

Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, begins this year on Christmas Day. This has only happened four times since 1900 as the Jewish calender differs from the civil Gregorian.
Wouldn't it be the perfect time for the rapture of the church? ?

THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!

“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Though you are little among the thousands of Judah,
Yet out of you shall come forth to Me
The One to be Ruler in Israel,
Whose goings forth are from of old,
From everlasting.”

(Micah 5:2)

“Hear now, O house of David! Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will you weary my God also? Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.”

(Isaiah 7:13-14)

“For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”

(Isaiah 9:6-7)

Thank you Darren for sharing ?

Jesus confirmed this miraculous event but I see Christians scoffing or not wanting to talk about it…thank you for your boldness in sharing about Jonah!

**Dear God,

As the sun rises on this new day, I come before you with a heart full of gratitude.

Thank you for the gift of this new day and the opportunity it brings.

I pray for your guidance and presence throughout the day ahead.

In Jesus' Name I Pray.

Amen.

Have a Blessed Day ! ?**

**Heavenly Father,

Quiet my thoughts and still my mind as I prepare for sleep.

Help me to focus on Your goodness and let go of all distractions and worries.

“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You.” (Isaiah 26:3)

Grant me a restful mind and spirit.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Have a Blessed Night ! ?**

**Heavenly Father,

As I start the day....

I ask for the guidance of your Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of truth. 

Fill me with your Spirit, and grant me a discerning heart and mind....

In Jesus' name I pray..

Amen.

Have a Blessed Day ! ?**

**Holy Spirit,

You know all truth.

Reveal any lies or deception meant to distort my understanding.

Expose falsehoods masquerading as wisdom.

Grant me clarity to know the difference between Your voice and all others.

Silence the conflicting opinions of this world so I can hear Your still, small voice more clearly.

Teach me to test the spirits against the truth of Scripture to recognize what is from You.

Give me discernment to know good from evil, right from wrong, helpful versus harmful.

Show me when to move forward as well as when to refrain from action.

In Jesus' name I pray...

Amen

Have a Blessed and discerning day ! ?**
