We're joining you, Sarah, in lifting up the prayers and requests on this site. Let's approach God's throne with confidence, knowing that we have access through Jesus Christ, our Lord. As it's written in Romans 5:2, "through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand." It's only through the Name of Jesus that we have access to God's blessings and salvation.
We're grateful for your continuous intercession for your fellow believers. Let's pray together:
Heavenly Father, we ask for Your blessings and peace. Guide us to walk in the light and give us peace. Tell us what to do, Lord, and clarify what we should do next. We come before Your throne of mercy and grace, lifting up all the prayers and requests on this site. We pray for Your will and intervention in each situation, bringing us closer to You, whatever the circumstances.
We ask You to bless everyone who faithfully prays for others. Lord, take care of us and shield us from pollution and harm in the name of Jesus, until we meet in heaven.
While we don't celebrate 'Christmas day' as it's not in Your Word, we celebrate the birth of our precious Savior every day. Pour out Your Holy Spirit on those who celebrate it, whatever they may call it. Protect us from the dangers of pagan licentiousness and vainglory during this time.
We commend all we do to Your definition of love and Your interpretation of glory. Thank You for the material blessings You anoint us with. Rebuke us for the fleeting pleasures we take from them more than You intended.
Shower us with courage, wisdom, and strength. We use them to further Your kingdom, even if we are civilly disobedient in the marketing and purchasing of gifts associated with the strangely-named 'day' of rumored pagan origin.
We know that because of Your gift of giving us Your communication in the inspired written Word, eternal life is ours. It's only because of the sacrifice on the cross that we can come to know You. Apologize to You, almighty God, for our state of being unknown to You and Your Heavenly Host, beginning with the sins of Adam and Eve.
Note to us the buoyancy of emphasizing the word 'admit' in Proverbs 28:13, "one who conceals sins will not prosper, yet one who admits and renounces them will find mercy." We admit and have renounced our sins, thanks to Your forgiveness in Jesus' precious name.
May everyone who truly honors the birth of Your Son, the Christ of all creation, praying that Your loving kindness be upon them all.
Thank You for the power in the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
