Prayer based on Luke 2

Father God, in the fullness of time You sent forth Your Son. This best child of Bethlehem is our King. Fully God and fully man, Your Son is Christ the Lord. Born in a lowly manger, He came for Your glory and for our salvation. Thank You for Your mercy to us through Him. We treasure the truth of Jesus Christ in our hearts. Help us to obey Him with our lives. Lord, we are so easily distracted by lesser things. Keep our eyes upon this Jesus. Help us to see the meaning and importance of our days as we see Your salvation in Jesus Christ. Shine forth the light of Christ throughout the earth, that many will come to see the truth of His life, death, and resurrection. We praise You, O God, for You have sent us the One who is our redemption. He is our strong King. Throughout His life He attended to all of Your commandments. He alone has loved You with all of His being. He knew You as Father with perfect wisdom and obedience. He is our Hope.
