From The Prayer Podcast to you and your loved ones, we want to wish you a very Merry Christmas. We are so happy that you are joining us today.

We now ask the Holy Spirit to be present with us as we enter into prayer. For where two or more are gathered in His name, there He will be in the midst of them.

Lord, in this holy season of prayer and song and laughter, we praise you for the great wonders you have sent us: for shining star and angel's song, for infant's cry in lowly manger. We praise you for the Word made flesh in a little Child. We behold his glory, and are bathed in its radiance.

Be with us as we sing the ironies of Christmas, the incomprehensible comprehended, the poetry made hard fact, the helpless Babe who cracks the world asunder. We kneel before you shepherds, innkeepers, wise men. Help us to rise bigger than we are. Amen.
