My Prayer for Today: November 26, 2010

Precious Father,

Our humble gratitude cannot thank You enough, Lord, for what you mean to each of us. During a season of Thanksgiving, we focus on Your goodness and mercy. We thank You for saving our souls and chasing after our hearts, when we remained in our sins. We are grateful for the peace, strength, joy, courage and hope that Your Spirit places in our hearts and souls. Thank you for the provisions that come from Your hand to Your children.

As we transition from a season of thanksgiving to the celebration of the birth of Your Son, let us not be consumed with Christmas busyness. Help each of us to assign the true reason for the season at the top of our holiday “to do” list, Lord. May each gift we give be given with recollections of the gift of Your Son and the gift of salvation. May each blessing that we receive be a reminder to share with those who do without. Father, bring to our remembrance, during each of the days of the Advent season, the sacrifice that You made for each of us through the birth of the Christ Child.

With thanksgiving and gratitude, in Jesus’ Name, I pray. AMEN.
