“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.

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.

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.

“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel (which means “God with us”)." (Matthew 1:23)

Immanuel, Thank You for being with us. Thank You for leaving Your throne in glory to be born in Bethlehem. And thank You for the promise of Your return. At this moment, I whisper Your name, “Jesus,” and I am comforted. There is something powerful in Your name—the name above all names. Just as Mary pondered many things in her heart, I ponder the wonderful things spoken in Your Word. You are Immanuel, God with us. I am deeply comforted in knowing You are always with me. Thank You, Lord. In Your holy name, amen.
