Morning Moment of Prayer...
Dear Lord Jesus...As the day begins and all the hurry of the holidays comes, I make a choice to put Your first above everything. I live, rest, and have unspeakable happiness because Your Word tells me that I am 'unconditionally accepted and unbelievably wanted' (Eph. 1:6).* I ask today to be a total blessing to someone. Whether I can lend a hand, a dollar, or a time of prayer for those you bring my way, I ask to be discerning as to what You are up to in that moment. I am ready. And You are first! In Your Name, Immanuel, King Jesus. Amen!
Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us."
Matthew 1:23
