Heavenly Father, just as Simeon took Your Son Jesus into His arms and gave praise to You, we invite Jesus into our hearts and raise our arms up to You. We ascribe to You glory and honor and power and strength that is due Your name. We rejoice in our salvation made available through the incarnation of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who came to redeem humankind from their wretched sin. For, at just the right time, while we were still powerless and dead in our sins, Jesus died for us. God, You demonstrated Your love for us, in that You credited righteousness to us through Christ’s death, and justified us from sin. Your wondrous love is truly amazing and I can only respond by dedicating to You my soul, my life, my all! In the precious name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

Heavenly Father, You have taught us to be very careful how we live, not as unwise but as wise followers of Jesus, the very essence of Truth. In today’s society of noncommittal attitudes or “whatever rings your bell” way of thinking (or non-thinking) we choose to be committed, sober, and vigilant about the way we live our lives in accordance to what we believe. We walk as sensible, thinking people with a due sense of responsibility, not as those who don’t know or care about the meaning of life here or the life yet to come. We care deeply about the temporal and eternal destiny of our lives and therefore we seek Your kingdom and Your righteousness above all. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

We know that in Him there is no darkness at all. Satan, the prince of darkness blinds and deceives us, but Jesus, the Prince of Peace, illuminates us with wisdom and truth through His earthly life revealed by Your Holy Word. And now we have the light of Your Holy Spirit to guide us in a sin-darkened world as we sojourn below. May this light that burns within us brighten our countenance and be our power source for truth, holiness, and courageous witness to those who have been blinded by the darkness. Bring them into the light of Your salvation we pray. Amen.

The hosts of heaven made it a song of joy and celebration as Jesus was born into the world, the Savior for all mankind. In the darkness of night the light of Christ appeared drawing people near and far, then and now. And at the same time there are many who are drawn to darkness like King Herod who sought to destroy the Christ child. We don’t understand such thinking once we come into the light, but it was a reality then as it is now. Thank You for the freedom to choose, and Lord, we choose You! In Jesus name. Amen.

The power of the Most High overshadowed Mary and Joseph as she was chosen to conceive the Christ Child who came down from heaven to save us from our sins. When we lose sight of Your miraculous deeds in the daily grind of life and in the circumstances that baffle or discourage us help us to remember that You are a God of the impossible, nothing is too complex or broken that You cannot fix. Your mighty Spirit overshadows us day by day and You delight in us as we put our hope in Your unfailing love and miraculous power. We pray all these things in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Your Son was sent for the major purpose of bearing the sins of humankind upon Himself as He died in our place. Those unwilling to receive these facts based upon the Scriptures will constantly be searching and find only the ever-evolving explanations, rationalizations, clarifications, enlightenment, or whatever the current fad teaching is during their quest. When we come to You in faith we accept that which is written in Scripture and base our lives upon its teaching, putting to death our old sin nature and rising to life our spiritual nature. Thank You for this glorious transformation. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

We are not just born into Your Kingdom but we were purchased with the precious sinless blood of Jesus. There is no higher calling and no greater privilege granted to the human race. Thank You for the spirit of sonship that invites each of us to call You Abba Father. This is possible only because of Christ Jesus who gave His all that we might be born again and receive eternal life. It is in His glorious name we pray. Amen.

Many are unknown to us, but some names are significant due to the contribution they made over their lifetime, either Christ honoring or otherwise. But the greatest name to be recorded in the genealogies is that of Jesus the Messiah. His is the Name above all names – a Name for all time and for every generation since Messiah’s kingdom has no end. His reign is forever and the amazing thing is that we who believe will reign with Him forevermore in His heavenly kingdom. Come Lord Jesus, come. Amen.

Help me not to waste my time and energy in futile or wishful thinking. Instead, I want to fix my thoughts upon the living hope I have in Jesus Christ my Lord. I anchor my soul in the bedrock of Your Holy Word so that when other viewpoints counter the truths prescribed in Your Word my anchor remains firm. When difficulties appear insurmountable remind me that I serve an extraordinary God who does not rely on natural solutions but works in the supernatural realm to meet each one of my needs. Your solutions to my problems are not subject to my scrutiny but rather I conform to Your leading and accept Your plan for my life. In doing so I am not tossed to and fro by wishful thinking, but I am firmly grounded in the living hope of our resurrected Lord and Savior. It is in His name that we pray, Amen.
