A Prayer to Invite Jesus into Your Christmas Season

Every year, there’s one thing that I’m sure I need more than anything else during the Christmas season—Jesus. All the decorations, gifts, and parties point to the eternal truth that there is a great celebration to come in heaven because of Jesus’s work on the cross. This is the only reason for the season. It’s an opportunity to remember both what Christ has already done and the future promises He will fulfill. 

That’s why I’m going to pray to invite Jesus into my Christmas season this year. I want to invite His presence into my heart and home as I prepare for the holidays.  

Begin Your Christmas Season in Prayer

So what about you? Will you join me in prayer to invite Jesus into your Christmas season? Putting aside the gifts and decorations, Christmas offers us an opportunity to celebrate Jesus with our friends and family. An opportunity to be a blessing to others in Jesus’s name and share His love with them.

Prayer of the Week: Inviting Jesus into the Christmas Season

Father God, we invite Jesus into our Christmas Season. We thank Him for the salvation He has purchased for us, and we invite Him into our hearts and homes this year. May we feel Jesus’s presence this holiday season. May our hearts and minds be open to the truth of the gospel in a fresh and meaningful way. Lord, we thank you for the blessings you have provided this year as well as the future blessings to come. May this be a time of remembering all the good things you have done for us. 

Lord, we thank you that we get to celebrate Jesus’s love, grace, and goodness with our family and friends. We pray that you would help us to make beautiful memories with them this Christmas. In addition, we pray for peace and joy over the month of December and especially over our time together with family and friends. 

Lastly, Father, we pray for divine appointments to share your love with others.  As we invite Jesus’s presence into the Christmas season, we pray that you would help us to be a blessing to those in need. We thank you for how these divine appointments will strengthen our faith and encourage others. May all of our plans and celebrations please you this year! In Jesus name, amen.
