Dear God,
In the highest realm of heaven,
please help me to live up to this commitment to myself
and all who live on this holy occasion—
the birthday of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Please send your divine love through my open heart
to bring understanding and a healing peace
to all that I see, hear, and feel.
I know that I must, as an individual,
find your connecting love within me
to truly live in peaceful unity with others.
I pray that more and more individuals come to this realization—
don’t fight against what is wrong,
fight for what is right
and truly live on earth as you would in heaven.
So I ask for your support and guidance
to focus on the positive progress of my life—
to bask in the sweetness
of my eternal unfolding spiritual journey.
Please dear Lord help me to bring reverence, peace,
love, and harmony into every corner of life—
my life and everyone’s life I come in contact with.
Thank you, dear Lord.
