Christmas Prayer for LARES

Dear Heavenly Father,

As we gather here today for this occasion, we come before you with grateful hearts.

We thank you for the gift of your Son, Jesus Christ, whose birth we celebrate during this Christmas season. We are reminded of the love and hope that He brings to our lives.

It is said in your Scriptures :

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. – And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us ”

“So when he came into the world, he said, “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me.”

We pray for harmony in our village, that we may come together as a community and support one another. May our interactions be filled with kindness, understanding, and compassion. Help us to embrace the diversity within our neighborhood and create an atmosphere of unity and acceptance.

Lord, we also ask for your peace to be upon our children. Protect them from harm and guide them in the paths of righteousness. May they grow in wisdom and understanding, and may their hearts be filled with joy and love.

We also want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for the dedicated admin, maintenance staff and security personnel who tirelessly serve our community. They work diligently behind the scenes, ensuring the smooth operation of our neighborhood and the safety of our residents.

We thank you for their commitment, professionalism, and unwavering dedication. Bless them abundantly, Lord, for their hard work and selfless service. May you grant them strength, wisdom, and protection as they carry out their responsibilities. We are truly grateful for their presence in our lives.

Thank you o Lord for the joy, fellowship and the food we will be partaking tonight. May you be our unseen special guest in this gathering tonight – to bless us and grace us with you presence.

Finally, We lift up our families to you oh Lord. We ask for your watchful eye and protection over them during this season. Keep them safe from any harm or danger, and surround them with your love and grace. May this Christmas be a time of joy, laughter, and cherished moments with our loved ones.

In the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ , we pray. Amen.”
