As you pursue God through prayer, it is essential that you open yourself to the searching of the Holy Spirit and be willing to admit sin. Prayer can only be an open channel between you and God if you are being completely honest before Him.

God wants to work in your life and has the power to do so. When you pray, the Holy Spirit is interceding for you. You may not always know what to pray, but he does. The Holy Spirit is your prayer partner through every challenge and obstacle in life.

This is a time to see dazzling displays of light. However, if you really want to see a remarkable display, you don’t have to tour your neighborhood at night. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world.” You can choose to live in the dark nights of the soul or the winter of discontent as Shakespeare called it. Or, you can choose to live in the light.

When Jesus was born that first Christmas, nobody expected it. Herod was not looking forward to a messiah. The shepherds did not anticipate a chorus of angels. Mary and Joseph were not expecting an early pregnancy and a virgin birth. Has God ever changed your plans?

The Christmas season comes with a flurry of activity that can easily leave you exhausted and discouraged. You may hear songs of peace, joy, and love everywhere you go, but you will not feel it inside unless you focus on what really matters. Jesus is the reason for the season.
