Jesus, light of the world, we worship You this Christmas season! May the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be pleasing to you. May our actions bring glory and fame to Your Name. May we be more concerned with the Giver than the gifts. May we seek to shine our lights so that this world may come to know You as well.
As we focus our hearts on Jesus this Christmas season, we can offer Him one prayer each day, focusing on who He is and all He has done for us! When we are reminded of who Jesus is, we are filled with joy and peace. We must turn our eyes to Him, in an ever-changing world, to be reminded that He truly is the Savior of the World.
