A prayer for Christmas Day celebrating our Savior by Debbie McDaniel, read by Liam Arden.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.

And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace,

Isaiah 9-6.

In a time of deep darkness, God promised to send a great light.

Isaiah prophesied these words long ago and time went by, 700 long years.

And then at just the right moment, Jesus came, Miracle Birth, Lightbringer, Hope in

Stiller, Savior and Lord.

Given to us, to you and to me, he came to dwell among us, he came to set us free.

He came that we might have life more abundantly.

If you have big needs today, be assured, he is a big God.

Everything is too difficult for him to handle, and he cares about all that concerns you.

Maybe you've experienced deep loss this year, or you feel alone this season and fear or

despair have gripped your heart.

You can bring it to Jesus, all of it, the brokenness, the questions, and the pain.

When we're troubled and hurting, when we feel lonely or afraid, he is our wonderful

counselor.

When we need to see a miracle in life, when we need someone to fight for us, he is our

mighty God.

When we forget who we belong to, when we need to be reminded that we're greatly loved

and cared for, he's our Everlasting Father, who loves to give

good gifts to his children.
