Suddenly a vast, heavenly army appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among people with whom He is pleased!”  Luke 2:13-14 NET

O God, who created the music of the heavenly spheres and gifted humanity with song, receive our praise as we begin singing the songs of Christmas this year. Be blessed as we worship; rejoice over us with singing as we meditate on the meaning of this blessed season. Lift up our hearts through the winter days ahead and let us see Jesus everywhere we go. In the name of Him who has made us glad. We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray deliverance, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
