Prayer For Sound Reasoning

Lord, it is so often difficult to remember the wonderful gifts You have given us. Of these gifts, a sound and sober mind is so easy to overlook. Sometimes the most wonderful gifts You give us are the ones we so easily take for granted. Father, give me gratitude for your gifts. Enlighten my mind through Your Holy Spirit. Quicken me by Your word and give me mental stability and wisdom to gain understanding in my life. Help me to reason well, that I might remain steadfast in Your word and will. For You live and reign with the Son and Holy Spirit, now and evermore. Amen.

Prayer To Remember What Christmas is All About

Lord, I thank You for coming to earth so You could redeem me. When I think of the extent to which You were willing to go in order to save me, it makes me want to shout, to celebrate, and to cry with thankfulness. You love me so much, and I am so grateful for that love. Without You, I would still be lost and in sin. But because of everything You have done for me, today I am free; my life is blessed; Jesus is my Lord; Heaven is my home; and Satan has no right to control me. I will be eternally thankful to You for everything You did to save me! I pray this in Jesus' name!
