Merry Christmas! Here’s a prayer for Christmas Day. Listen to the prayer HERE.
A Prayer for Peaceful Celebration
Prince of Peace,
Today is a day of celebration:
confetti and cake
streamers and sparkles
in our contemporary times.
A day of feasting and fanfare
songs and embracing
dancing and leaping with joy.
Our Savior has come!
All our planning and preparation
in busy December
points toward this day.
We celebrate you as the One
who makes peace possible.
A day of praise
Glory to God in the highest
A day of peace
And peace to his people on earth
A day of joy
Good news that will bring great joy to all the people
A day of hope
In his name the nations will put their hope
A day of worship
Come, let us worship and bow down.
On this Christmas Day
we pause amid our messes
and look with wonder
on this newborn babe:
the light of the world
the king of all kings
the promised Messiah
seated at the Father’s right hand
preparing a place for us
in the glorious heavens.
Happy Birthday Jesus!
This poem-prayer was based on the chapter Peaceful Celebration in my book:
Looking for more Christmas hope? Check out my book, Christmas Peace for Busy Moms, and my recent blog series, Trading Anxiety for Peace.
For the next three weeks of the Advent season, I’ll be sharing Advent prayers here on the blog. They will be short, easy reads to lift you up in your busy days. I’ll also have batches of book reviews for you on Tuesdays, in case you need some last-minute Christmas gift ideas.
Also, I’m SO excited that I will be featured on the (in)courage blog on December 23 with a special Christmas-themed post. I hope you’ll take a minute or two to read it on that day, and let me know what you think!
