Today's prayer:

Dear God, I might not know how things will turn out, but I trust You. I don't see a solution, but I believe You will make one. Right now, I have faith that You are helping people, opening doors, and setting up the right chances and opportunities for me. Things might seem dark and difficult right now, but I trust that better days are coming. Amen.

The world lacks hope. Human beings are clamouring to fill their empty lives with things that will not satisfy. Young people are only after fun that they never have enough.  So much so, they fall into all kinds of temptation and end up being miserable and hopeless. People need to know that Jesus came to bring hope, that He is our hope, and that our hope is a Person. Paul describes Jesus Christ as “our hope” (1 Timothy 1:1) and “the blessed hope” (Titus 2:13). We have hope because Jesus forgave and reconciled us to God. This hope in Jesus brings contentment that material possessions can never give and brings joy and peace regardless of the circumstances.

This Christmas, don't miss the point of celebrating Christmas. Don't be like the innkeeper, who missed Jesus because he was too busy with the other guests that he didn't bother to find out who this pregnant woman really was. Had he known it was the mother of the Lord, would he have turned her away?(Luke 2:7). Make time for the Lord. Don't be like King Herod, who was too afraid to let Christ take his place ( Matthew 2). Turn your heart over to Christ. Allow nothing else to take the place of worshipping Jesus Christ.

On Christmas morning we will unwrap our Christmas presents, but eventually the novelty of it all will wear off. In time, your Christmas gifts will mostly be forgotten. But God has given us the ultimate gift—the gift of His Son Jesus Christ. Don't miss CHRIST IN Christmas this year. As Isaac Watts wrote,

"Let earth receive her King,

Let every heart prepare Him room."

Yup, sounds about right. Many times, it's not "peaceful", hahaha.

John 16:33. “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow. For tomorrow will worry about itself
