Lord Jesus, today we welcome You, Immanuel, God with us. Father God, thank You for sending Your precious Son to save me and my own from our sins. Thank You for Your love, Holy trinity. Purify our hearts and help us welcome Him with all the devotion that He truly deserves, into our hearts and homes. May each one of us, Your children be mightily anointed by Your Holy Spirit today. Amen.

For the LORD comforts his people, he redeems Jerusalem. The LORD has bared his holy arm in the sight of all the nations; all the ends of the earth will behold the salvation of our God.

Lord Jesus, on this Christmas Eve, we surrender to You today members of our family and our extended family. We pray that strife within our homes is healed and relationships are washed in Your Precious Blood and mended. May we learn to love members of our family as our own, just as You decided they should be our own. May every negative thought and incident be surrendered at the foot of Your cross today. Bless our dear ones to come closer to You and to each other. May we always bless and be a blessing to them. Fill our homes...
