For Godparents to Be a Blessing to Their Godchildren

Lord of the Church,
Godly godparents may be some of the most under-appreciated gifts you give believers. Christian parents may not always take advantage of the blessed tradition of choosing godparents, or they may not give much prayerful deliberation to their choice if they do. Godparents, too, may overlook or neglect their important roles. Nevertheless, guide your church to retain this practice, to expand its awareness, and to heighten its importance. Your little baptized saints growing up in the world today are in as much need of prayer and spiritual care as ever. Place godchildren on the hearts of their godparents regularly. Direct them to your throne of grace on their behalf, and lead them to welcome and embrace the role of helping disciple their godchildren in every way possible. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Treasure Worship During the Holidays

Heavenly Father,
As the holiday season continues to unfold, many look forward to the treasured traditions that are such a significant part of it. Some are secular and others are sacred. While these understandably have a special place in our hearts, I pray that they do not overshadow the blessing of gathering in your house for worship during the holidays. There we hear the familiar accounts, deeply rooted in history. These properly prepare our hearts and keep us on the Spirit’s path toward a right celebration of the Savior’s First Coming and an eager anticipation of his Second Coming. Fill your churches so that you might fill our souls with true joy this season.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
