Luke 2
Precious Father,
On this beautiful Christmas Eve, our hearts are filled with gratitude and joy as we gather in Your presence.
Tonight, as we reflect on the wondrous story of Christ’s birth, we are reminded of the miraculous gift You bestowed upon us — the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ.
Tonight feels special, like a cozy blanket wrapped around us. We’re here, hearts brimming with joy and gratefulness, surrounded by the warmth of family and friends.
It’s like when Jesus was born — simple, surrounded by love, and filled with promise.
Thinking about how Jesus came into the world, just as You promised, fills us with wonder. You gave us Jesus, our Savior, right there in a little town, showing us what true love looks like.
Remember when the angels sang out, “Glory to God in the highest”? It was like the whole sky lit up! It must’ve been incredible, just like the love You pour into our lives every day.
God, tonight, we ask for that same love to fill our homes. Help us feel that peace You promised, the kind that guards our hearts when things get tough.
As we reflect tonight, let’s remember the reason for this season. Let’s carry that message of love and kindness into the world, just like Jesus did.
God, help us be like little lights, shining Your love wherever we go. When things are hard, remind us of the hope Jesus brought into the world.
Thanks for this time together, for the laughter, the stories, and the love we share. Guide us in the days ahead, giving us strength when things feel tough.
We’re so thankful for Jesus, for the love that made Christmas possible. As we wait for Christmas Day, fill us with joy and gratitude.
Amen.
