12 Days of Christmas Prayers for Women

“And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)

Wonderful Counselor, how I need Your wisdom this Christmas. In my work, family, and personal walk, I need Your divine counsel. You said in John 14:26, “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” Thank You for sending Your Spirit and for not leaving us to navigate life alone. Please fill me anew with Your love, joy, and peace as I celebrate Your birth. Your presence is what I long for most. In Your holy name, I pray. Amen.

Mighty God, how awesome You are! Your works are too wonderful for me. Please turn my affections away from worldly things—materialism, consumerism, and distraction—and fix my gaze on You. Let this Christmas be a reset, a new start for my family and me as we live with purpose and vision. Let everything we do be in glory and honor of You. Help us prioritize what matters most, seeking first Your kingdom and Your righteousness. Continue to work all things out for our good and Your glory. In Your mighty name, amen.

Everlasting Father, I come to You humbly today, sitting in Your holy presence. There is so much going on around me, I often feel frazzled and weary. Please draw me close, allowing me to hit pause for just a few moments. Thank You for the ongoing invitation to meet with You, to hear from You, and to learn from You. I don’t want this Christmas to pass by without truly communing with You, my Savior. Thank You for rest, the true rest found in You. In Your precious name, amen.

Prince of Peace, how I need the infilling of Your peace today. Anxious thoughts are circling in my mind, and worries are filling my heart. Please replace every anxiety with the calmness of Your Spirit. As I see twinkling lights on every corner, remind me of Your true light that shines in this dark world. No circumstance is beyond Your reach. You guide me with Your righteous right hand, and I am forever kept in Your love and mercy. Help me extend the same to my family and friends, being a bright light of joy to them. Let Your peace fill our homes, our hearts, and our celebrations. In Your name, amen.
