A Prayer for Christmas Morning




Father,

We come this morning in true humility and repentance, only as we look to you to grant us the gift of seeing ourselves as you see us. Give us true insight into the condition of our hearts; free us from the deceit of our sinfulness. We thank you Father, that in the fullness of time you sent your Only Son to come into this world of darkness and that by his perfect life and complete sacrifice on the Cross you displayed to the world the true wisdom that comes from You. We confess that like the world, we do not recognize your truth and your presence. We are quick to judge others and see ourselves as better. We are lost and undone, break us, and then remake us according to your mercies in Jesus Christ.
