Praying Through Advent: Emmanuel

December 24, Emmanuel

Adoration & Worship
Your name is Emmanuel. By definition, Jesus, you are with us. It’s who you are. Matthew 1:23

Repentance & Confession
I hold fast to this confession because you are my great high priest, Jesus, the Son of God. Tempted in every way, able to sympathize with me in every respect, but with you remained without sin. So I run to you, and draw near to the throne of grace with confidence and receive your mercy in my time of need. Hebrews 4:15-16

Petition (asking for personal needs)
You are powerfully at work in me, Jesus, and it is the hope of glory. I long to be fully developed and mature at your coming. Help me, Spirit, be a good steward of what has been so graciously given to me in Jesus. Colossians 1:24-29

Intercession (praying for others)
When the righteous cry for help, you, Lord, hear and deliver us. You are near to the brokenhearted and save the crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:17-18

Thanksgiving
You walk with us through waters, and we are not overwhelmed. You walk with us in the fire, and we don’t even smell of smoke. We have no reason to fear or be discouraged. You are with us. Isaiah 41:10, Daniel 3:25, Isaiah 43:2

There are the three things you need to know about me. I am a child of God, and I love being about his business; I have a gigantic heart for discipleship, worship, leadership, and creative things; I could eat BBQ morning, day, and night. For more information, see the ABOUT page
