Five Ways to Slow Down and Savor the Season - A Nighttime Prayer

    “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” – Romans 12:2

    Please Pray:

    Heavenly Father, I couldn’t be more grateful for the greatest gift we have ever received: Your Son, Jesus, the promised Messiah and my Savior. This Christmas season, help me turn my attention away from the rush and distractions of our culture and focus on what’s most important. Help me slow down, let go of unrealistic expectations, and dwell in Your peace and presence. Guide my giving, my words, and my actions so that I can reflect the hope and joy of the gospel. I pray that you would use my family to love others well and point them to the blessed hope we have in You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
