Pray Christmas - Day 14

[Mark S Mirza]

December 14

• Background to today’s prayer

  • Do you remember the passage in scripture that says, “There was no room in the Inn.”?

  • Imagine if you were the Inn Keeper and woke up on the wrong side of the bed the day Mary and Joseph came to town

  • And you treated Mary and Joseph,

  • And therefore the creator of the universe,

  • Mean and nasty,

  • Because you were grumpy.

TODAY’S PRAYER

Heavenly Father, Luke 2:7 has the famous quote “there was no room in the inn.” And yet Lord I am reminded of the child in the school play who had such compassion he couldn’t turn the expecting parents away (much to the chagrin of the school officials). But Lord that child showed a compassion, in the play, that we as adults forget in our everyday world. Oh Lord teach us compassion. Allow us to comfort someone this Christmas season, with the self-same comfort that we have been comforted by You Lord (2 Corinthians 1:4).

Lord, please comfort us when we need it, help us to comfort others when they need it.

 

Lamentations 3:22-23 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.

 

Isa 40:1 Comfort, comfort My people, says your God. NIV
