A Christmas Prayer

Holy God,the news of your coming from heaven to earth in the person of Jesus is nearly unbelievable! Help me to believe.The reality that you would exchange the glory of heaven for the broken realities of human life is truly extraordinary. Help me to allow your incarnation to rock my world. Awaken my sense of awe. Widen my sense of wonder. Heighten my hopes and lighten my burdens. Feed my faith and deepen my devotion. Magnify my gratitude and multiply my generosity. Pierce my heart and grant my peace. All in the One who came, who comes and who is coming again, Jesus, The Christ,Amen.
