Daily Prayer: Let’s express our happiness in our prayers of thanksgiving.

Thank you Jesus for being born for us. You know all about our human life and struggles, You share our sad times and also our happy celebrations.

We pray today for reconciliation between estranged family or friends. We pray also for those who are in mourning and find it difficult to celebrate this Christmas.

Daily Bible reading: Psalm 98

1 Sing a new song to the LORD! He has worked miracles,
and with his own powerful arm,
he has won the victory.
2 The LORD has shown the nations
that he has the power to save and to bring justice.
3 God has been faithful in his love for Israel,
and his saving power is seen everywhere on earth.

4 Tell everyone on this earth
to sing happy songs in praise of the LORD.
5 Make music for him on harps. Play beautiful melodies!
6 Sound the trumpets and horns
and celebrate with joyful songs
for our LORD and King!

7 Command the ocean to roar with all of its creatures,
and the earth to shout with all of its people.
8 Order the rivers to clap their hands,
and all of the hills to sing together.
9 Let them worship the LORD!
He is coming to judge everyone on the earth,
and he will be honest and fair.
