Isaiah 9:6 (NLT) — 6 For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. 

The government will rest on his shoulders. 

And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Prayer by Debbie McDaniel:

Dear God,

Thank You for the gift of Jesus! We celebrate the treasure of all that He is in our lives, 

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, 

and so much more. 

We recognize His Powerful Presence over all, 

and we worship Him as King of kings and Lord and lords.

We thank You that You made a way for us to be set free 

through the sacrifice of Christ on our behalf. 

Thank You for giving us the gift of eternal life, to all that have believed in Your Name. 

We bring to You today, every need and concern that we have,

 every fear and pain of loss we’ve experienced this year. 

We ask for Your Healing and Grace, 

for Your Strength and Your Peace to fill us afresh.

We draw near to You, and thank You that You are close. 

Our Immanuel…God with us … 

we pray in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
