A Prayer for the First Sunday After Christmas
Open Your Bible
Luke 1:78-79
BY She Reads Truth
Because of our God’s merciful compassion,
the dawn from on high will visit us to shine on those who live in darkness
and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
—Luke 1:78–79
Almighty God, You have poured upon us the new light of
Your incarnate Word: Grant that this light, enkindled in our
hearts, may shine forth in our lives; through Jesus Christ our
Lord, who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Lizzy— praying for your husband Nate that God will show him how wonderful he is made and will give him the courage and the knowledge the confidence that he will pass the tests and keep his job.

I’m praying for your husband today that He will feel the peace and wisdom of God all around Him. I pray that He will rest in God’s abilities to carry Him through the testing season and that He will excel beyond His own expectations. Amen

I’m lifting up my husband tonight in my prayers. He’s recently got a new job and there’s a lot of testing he has to pass to keep his job. He’s always been hard on himself and he’s not feeling smart enough, and the people around him, while well meant, are not very encouraging. If anyone wants to pray for Nate and his success at work I would appreciate it! All for God’s glory, but also because I want my husband to know just how capable and smart he is. Thanks ladies!

So thankful for this advent study. I love soaking in the afterglow of Christmas. I actually really love this week between Christmas and New Years. It is still celebratory, but a lot less hectic than Christmas.

Maria Baer I agree with you, for some reason, maybe the topic, maybe the way it was presented maybe the devotions or maybe all but this Advent study seems to have affected me and my walk with the Lord differently than any of the other ones. Of course, all of you my sisters and your comments and support have made a big difference also. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH SRT.
