pray for gratitude – Jesus is a gift for every single day and for all eternity.

Message: Jesus was God’s gift to the world, not just for Christmas, but for every single day—your whole life through—and even beyond for all eternity. Prayer: Heavenly Father, we come before You today with hearts full of gratitude for the incredible gift of Your Son, Jesus. As we reflect on His presence in our lives, we recognize that the significance of His birth extends far beyond the celebration of Christmas. Each day is an opportunity for us to embrace the love, grace, and mercy He brings. Help us to remember that Jesus is not just a figure from the past, but a living reality who walks alongside us each moment of our lives. Lord, in a world that often feels consumed by distractions and demands, it can be easy to lose sight of the significance of Your gift. We ask for Your guidance to keep our hearts centered on Jesus, appreciating His sacrifice and the love that compelled You to send Him into the world. May we never take for granted the life He offers us, a life not just for the season, but for eternity. Help us to weave this understanding into the fabric of our daily existence, recognizing that every day is a new opportunity to encounter Him and grow in our faith. As we face challenges, uncertainties, and joys, may we find comfort in knowing that Jesus is with us. Remind us that His love is constant and unwavering, a source of strength in our weakest moments. Teach us to reflect that love to others, sharing the hope and light that You have graciously bestowed upon us. Let our lives be a testimony of Your goodness, drawing others closer to You through our actions and words. Father, we pray for those who may not yet know the gift of Jesus. Stir their hearts, open their eyes, and draw them into a relationship with You. Use us as instruments of Your peace and love, showing the world that Jesus is for every single person, every single day, and that through Him, we find true purpose and fulfillment. Thank You, Lord, for the incredible gift of Your Son. May we cherish Him each day and live our lives in a way that honors His memory and embraces the hope He brings to our hearts. In His precious name, we pray. Amen.
