" A Short Christmas Prayer"- Dr. David Jeremiah
Last year a prescious five year old Noah Scott Biorkman,was battling with cancer. When asked what would encourage him, he said he would love to get some Christmas cards. Thought it was too early for Christmas, his illness was advancing and he longed to get some cards in the mail. The plea went out and the out pouring was remarkable. Noah received over a million cards.
Holidays hold their share of sadness. Sometimes our fears run away with us and our melancholy emotions trouble us. The Lord has sent us 31,000 verses, more than 1000 chapters and about 800,000 words in His Book. He has filled our Bible’s with His promises, and every promise is a token of His love. There’s a promise in the Bible for every gloomy thought, for every negative emotion and for every salty tear.
The virgin Mary had her share of fears, but in the end she rested in God’s promise and offered a short Christmas prayer; “ Let it be to me according to your word” (Luke 1:38). That’s a good prayer to echo; a good definition of faith
Prayer today:
Ask God to help you increase your faith. Talk to Him about your joys, fears, and sadness in this coming Holiday season. He is truly faithful. He has written thousands of words of encouragement for you in every situation.
