Monthly Prayer Focus

Peace and Hope in Christ - Give thanks for our Messiah whose birth we celebrate this month. Praise the Lord that the awaited, God-made-flesh, humble, delivering, saving Messiah came and that through our Messiah there is hope, peace, love, and joy. Pray that the presence of Christ would be experienced by those who are without joy or alone during this time of the year. Pray that the Prince of Peace would draw near and comfort those you know who are emotionally hurting. Pray for those you know who are spiritually far from God that they would discover Jesus is the living hope and that in Christ there is everlasting peace. Pray for opportunities to tangibly demonstrate the joy and love of Christ to those we meet as we go, especially those who need to experience peace and hope. May we all remember, celebrate, and experience Emmanuel – God with us – in a personal way.
