A Christmas Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father God, Lord Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit, blessed Trinity, we acknowledge You and give You praise.
Thank You Father, for sending Your Son Jesus Christ to Earth, to be born as a baby in Bethlehem and to live amongst us, teaching us of Yourself. Thank You for His sacrifice upon the Cross at Calvary, honouring You and making a way for sinful humanity to be back in right standing with You through repentance and faith in Jesus. 
Thank You Father, that this was not the end, for Jesus rose again and ascended into Heaven, where He waits for us who have committed our lives to Him for eternity. 
Thank You that You did not leave us alone in this world, but soon after Jesus had ascended to Heaven, You sent Your Holy Spirit, the Parakletos, the One who comes alongside,to be with us as our Counsellor and guide throughout this life.
Father, as we approach Christmas, I pray that all our celebrations will be touched with the love of Christ. As we rejoice in Jesus' birth, may our love for You help us to reach out in love to one another. 
Especially Lord, may those who don't yet know You be touched by the truth of your existance and be drawn to relationship and new life in you.

I pray Lord Jesus, for repentance to fall afresh on this hurting world.
I pray for revival in Your church to minister where it is needed.

I pray for peace on Earth and goodwill amongst all people.

Amen
