A Christmas Prayer

OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN, FOR GREAT IS THY PRESENCE AND THY POWER IN ALL THINGS HERE ON EARTH,
AND MAN IS BUT THE PRESENCE THROUGH WHICH THY POWER FLOWS TO BE BORN AGAIN,
TO THEE I PRAY.

I PRAY FOR THY CHILDREN THAT ARE LOST, FOR THY CHILDREN THAT ARE TAKEN, FOR THY CHILDREN THAT ARE MISSING,
FOR THY CHILDREN THAT ARE USED AND ABUSED, FOR THY CHILDREN THAT ARE BROKEN,
THAT THEY MAY FIND COMFORT AND HEALING IN THY LOVING EMBRACE FOR A SAFE JOURNEY HOME THIS CHRISTMAS DAY,
IN JESUS' NAME I PRAY,
LORD HEAR MY PRAYER.

I PRAY FOR THY CHILDREN THAT HAVE MORE, FOR THY CHILDREN THAT HAVE LESS, FOR THY CHILDREN THAT HAVE NOT,
FOR THY CHILDREN WHO DESPAIR OVER WEALTH, AND THY CHILDREN WHO HAVE LOST WHAT WAS ONCE THEIR OWN,
THAT THEY MAY COME TO REALIZE THEIR TRUEST WEALTH AND THE GREAT BOUNTY THAT THOU PROVIDES ON THIS CHRISTMAS DAY,
IN JESUS' NAME I PRAY,
LORD HEAR MY PRAYER.

I PRAY FOR OUR LEADERS IN FAITH, THOSE THAT CONDEMN, THOSE THAT OPPRESS, THOSE THAT ABUSE, THOSE THAT REJECT,
THOSE THAT DIVIDE, THOSE THAT SPREAD HATE, EVEN THOSE THAT KILL IN THY NAME,
THAT THEY MAY COME TO KNOW THE SANCTIFIED TRUTH OF THY WORD ON THIS CHRISTMAS DAY,
IN JESUS' NAME I PRAY,
LORD HEAR MY PRAYER.

I PRAY FOR ALL RELIGIONS WHO SAY GOD IS ONE, THOSE THAT CONDEMN, THOSE THAT DIVIDE, THOSE THAT PLACE BLAME,
THOSE THAT PARTAKE IN VIOLENCE, THOSE THAT TAKE PRIDE, THOSE THAT ARE QUICK TO JUDGE AND CONDEMN,
THOSE THAT IMPOSE BURDENS, THOSE THAT EXALT THEIR OFFICERS, THOSE THAT NEGLECT THE POOR,
THOSE THAT CULTIVATE THE RICH, THOSE THAT SCORN THE OUTCAST, THOSE THAT FLATTER THE RULERS OF THE WORLD,
EVEN THOSE THAT ARE OPPOSED TO  CHRIST,
THAT THEY MAY COME TO GLORIFY THY NAME ON THIS CHRISTMAS DAY,
ASSUREDLY I SAY TO THEE, THAT IF NOT THROUGH CHRIST JESUS THE GATES OF HEAVEN WILL NOT YIELD,
IN JESUS' NAME I PRAY,
LORD HEAR MY PRAYER.

I PRAY FOR OUR PRESIDENT, OUR CONGRESS, OUR SENATE, OUR REPRESENTATIVES,
FOR ALL OUR ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS,
THOSE THAT TRANSGRESS, THOSE THAT CONTINUE TO BUILD EMPIRES, THOSE WHO PUSH LAWS FOR AND AGAINST THE PEOPLE,
THOSE WHO INDULGE IN SELF-GLORIFICATION, THOSE WHO INDULGE IN SELF-PRAISE, THOSE WHO INDULGE IN HONOR,
THOSE WHO INDULGE IN WEALTH, THOSE WHO INDULGE IN PRIDE, THOSE WHO INDULGE IN PHYSICAL GAINS,
THAT THEY MAY PUT ASIDE THEIR PETTY DIFFERENCES, THEIR DISLIKES AND MEANINGLESS WORDS,
THAT THEY MAY COME TOGETHER FOR THE PEOPLE ON THIS CHRISTMAS DAY AND MOVE OUR NATION FORWARD,
IN JESUS' NAME I PRAY,
LORD HEAR MY PRAYER.

I PRAY FOR THY CHILDREN LOST OR DISPLACED WHEN THE EARTH IS MADE TO TREMBLE WITH RAGE, FOR THY CHILDREN LOST OR DISPLACED WHEN THE SEA IS MADE TO DANCE WITH FURY,
FOR THY CHILDREN LOST OR DISPLACED WHEN THE AIR IS MADE TO SPIN AND CRY OUT IN AGONY,
FOR THY CHILDREN SEEKING FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY AROUND THE WORLD,
FOR THY CHILDREN SEEKING TO BECOME A PART OF THIS GREAT NATION,
FOR THY CHILDREN LOST OR ABUSED FOR SPEAKING THY NAME,
THAT THEIR TRUTH BE GRANTED BY THY MERCY WITH THY GRACE ON THIS CHRISTMAS DAY,
IN JESUS' NAME I PRAY,
LORD HEAR MY PRAYER.

I PRAY FOR THY CHILDREN STILL FIGHTING THE CAUSE FOR FREEDOM, OUR TRUE HEROES, THAT THEY MAY RETURN HOME SAFELY ON THIS CHRISTMAS DAY,
THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IN HEAVEN,
IN JESUS' NAME I PRAY,
LORD HEAR MY PRAYER,
AMEN.

I SAMUELPAUL, SHARE THIS PRAYER WITH YOU THAT ALL MAY COME TO KNOW OUR AWESOME GOD THROUGH CHRIST JESUS.
