PRAYING TOGETHER AS A FAMILY
It is God ALONE Who looks on the thoughts and intents of the heart. God alone knows if our faith is genuine. God alone knows if we truly believe in our heart that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose on the third day, according to the Scripture. And when a person believes on the Lord Jesus Christ in their heart for the forgiveness of their sins - God knows and He saves. And it is God ALONE to Whom we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord. Confessing with my mouth to another person can never cause us to be saved - even if we use the right words, for no person can save another person - only God can save. Only God can forgive sins. And when a sinner confesses with their mouth to God that he believes in the Person and Work of Christ and that 'Jesus is Lord', God is faithful and just to hear our confession and forgive us our sins - for God hears and He saves ALL who believe. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, there is much that we do not understand about the Word of God and much that we need to be taught, but we pray that the Holy Spirit would guide us into all truth. Keep us from being swayed away from the truth of the gospel into a distorted gospel by those that show religious zeal, religious ignorance, religious intolerance, or religious arrogance. Help us to study to show ourselves approved unto God and give us the wisdom and the humility to seek You when we do not understand. Open our eyes, we pray, so that we may see wonderful things in Your written Word. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN. As a member of the human race, the Savior was the first BORN baby of the virgin Mary: "A Child is born," for He shall save His people from their sins. "A Son is given," for God so loved the world that he GAVE the beloved Son of His love, Jesus Christ, to be our Redeemer. Every name and every attribute that is ascribed to this unique Person has the seal of eternity etched into its very fabric. No one else but God can qualify to be called 'Wonderful' we read in the Bible that His name is Wonderful. And God alone is the perfect Counsellor, for in Christ dwelt all the wisdom of God. And the Spirit of the LORD rested upon Him; the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and reverence for the Lord. Christ Jesus is indeed our "Wonderful Counsellor." For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Our United Prayer:
Loving Lord, no matter how many times we read of the wonder of Your incarnation as the Word made flesh, it fills us with wonder and praise. Let us praise God for the true meaning of this day, Christmas Day, your the reason for this holy day, let us share your love with family and others and those in need. Lord, we worship You in the beauty of holiness, and we bow down before Your throne of grace in wonderment, for holy is Your name. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN. In wonder and amazement, Mary humbly asked how this could be, knowing that she had not been intimate with any man. Her question was not one of doubt or unbelief, but one that was filled with awe and amazement at the mighty wisdom of God, one that recognized the amazing grace that had been extended to her that a humble maid such as she should be chosen to receive this high, heavenly honor. And then followed the glorious announcement from this angelic messenger: "The Holy Spirit will come upon you," she was told, "and the power of the Most High God will overshadow you," and for that reason, the holy Child that she was to bear "would be called the Son of God." In His humanity, Jesus was to be the Child born of Mary. In His deity, Christ was to be the Son of the Highest. For unto us the child that was formed in the womb of Mary was to be BORN into the human race, but also unto us to the Son of the most high God was GIVEN: "For God so loved the world that he GAVE His only begotten Son, so that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life." The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called[a] the Son of God. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that You take the simple things of life and servants that are humble in spirit, to be lifted up and used by You to Your praise and glory. We pray that we would walk humbly before You all the days of our lives and that You would use us in whatever way You choose, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN. Mary was highly privileged and her explosion of joy reflected a developing understanding of the wonderful truth with which she had been entrusted. Her song revealed the amazing responsibility of being chosen by the God of her forefathers, to bring forth our Lord Jesus - Whom she humbly acknowledged as GOD, my Savior. Her own precious baby was to be the One who would die for her sins. He would bring forgiveness and salvation to his young mother and to all sinners who trust in His redeeming blood. Like all who believe, Mary's human spirit was made alive the moment she believed God's Word - that she would bring forth a Son that would save His people. No wonder her spirit delighted in the God of her salvation. 46 And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord 47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, what a thrilling meeting it must have been for Elisabeth and Mary as they glorified Your name for all that You had done in their lives and for the wonderful promise of salvation. How our spirits also rejoice in You and in the Lord Jesus Christ, our God, our Savior, and Your eternal Son. Thank You for Your gracious plan of redemption and for Christ's birth to this humble Jewish maiden. How our souls also thrill and praise You for all You have done in our lives - for the forgiveness of sin and the redemption of our souls through the shed blood of God our Savior. Praise Your holy name, AMEN. Suffering is the segment of life that should cause us to engage in much prayer and earnest entreaties, while Christ's gracious provision should elicit much rejoicing and cheerfulness of heart Throughout the Word of God, we are encouraged to call on the name of the Lord in time of trouble. In every circumstance of life it should be a duty and delight the Lord in prayer - especially in times of trouble, for He is a God Whose ears are open to the cries of His children, and Who is our ever present help in times of need. Indeed, no matter what changing moods and interchanging moments we face in life, we are wise when we lift up cheerful hearts of joyful thanksgiving to the Lord... through continuous prayer and trusting praise. Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the encouragement and truth that is contained in this short but important verse. May we seek You in all life's needs and necessities through prayer and intercession, and may we rejoice in Your never-failing faithfulness and unchanging goodness and grace. Keep us mindful of the Cross and rejoicing in our hearts for all that You are to us... and to all who have trusted in You for their salvation. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN. |
