A very special birth to commemorate a babe born to us with a divine, foretold long ahead of time, divine destiny to be the savior of the world, the savior of all, who has succeeded in saving us from ourselves, to all who believe this and put faith in him and this, Christ, our Lord... In that we say, past tense, "has already saved us" or "is, or has already been completed, we mean, has already been sealed or destined... But, yet, the mystery of this is still constantly being revealed and uncovered in pieces as the end of this age approaches... He has already done it, yet many of us are still in the process of it, and of uncovering it...

#14- (New Years Eve) "New Years is one of my favorite holidays, not for the parties or socializing, or social events, but, because, for many, it makes them think about new beginnings and "turning over a new leaf" so to speak, from some of the old ways and issues they do not want to be a part of their life anymore... For some, this can be or mean little things, and for others, bigger ones or things... I like it because it is very much like a very big, very important thing, that is supposed to be an important step as it pertains to being a Christian... And that is: dying to ourselves and self-will or to what scripture calls the "old man" or old personality and also, being "born again" as a completely new man or person, who is others-centered instead of self-centered and self-absorbed and self-consumed and is, instead, entirely consumed with God's will for their life and not their own... We are to become a new person or new creation in Christ and die to, or "repent" of the old, and get or commit to, a new start by being "born again"... Repenting is simply a change of mind or heart...
That being said, now, we will pray to the Lord for help with this... Dear Lord, we love you and ask for your help in doing this and making this change that is essential to the Christian faith and walk... Help us to give up our own will, our pride, our ego, our selfishness and self-centeredness for your will and your ways... To be "others centered" first, instead of and before our won selves, and, let this New Years Holiday cause us to think about and remind us of this... Help us to die to self-will or "our" ways, our thoughts, our actions and decisions, in exchange for yours, Oh Lord... As we celebrate this New Year let us all keep in mind and seriously consider these things, oh Lord... Thank you Lord... All glory, honor, and praise, majesty, power, and might be yours forever, to the glory of the Father, oh Lord our God, Amen.
#15- "Dear Lord, we love you and thank you for everything, for loving us... Help us to walk in your ways and to practice what we preach or say... Guide and direct us in your truth and help us to walk in that truth... Without you or apart from you we are nothing, but, in you, we are everything... Help us to explore and uncover the deep mystery of this, oh Lord... We pray for blessings, healing, health, wealth, prosperity, and peace and security for all... Lord, we even thank you for the bad things that work out for our good... Teach us how to have mastery and self-control over ourselves and in all our dealings... Help us to be stable in all our ways without losing heart, or having to sacrifice our hearts in the process... Help us with the process of this walk with you Lord, the Christian walk... We pray for our loved ones, we pray for our world... Thank you Lord... All glory, honor, and praise, majesty, power, and might be yours forever, to the glory of the Father, oh Lord, Amen.

Help us to die to self-will or "our" ways, our thoughts, our actions and decisions, in exchange for yours, Oh Lord... As we celebrate this New Year let us all keep in mind and seriously consider these things, oh Lord... Thank you Lord... All glory, honor, and praise, majesty, power, and might be yours forever, to the glory of the Father, oh Lord our God, Amen.
#15- "Dear Lord, we love you and thank you for everything, for loving us... Help us to walk in your ways and to practice what we preach or say... Guide and direct us in your truth and help us to walk in that truth... Without you or apart from you we are nothing, but, in you, we are everything... Help us to explore and uncover the deep mystery of this, oh Lord... We pray for blessings, healing, health, wealth, prosperity, and peace and security for all... Lord, we even thank you for the bad things that work out for our good... Teach us how to have mastery and self-control over ourselves and in all our dealings... Help us to be stable in all our ways without losing heart, or having to sacrifice our hearts in the process... Help us with the process of this walk with you Lord, the Christian walk... We pray for our loved ones, we pray for our world... Thank you Lord... All glory, honor, and praise, majesty, power, and might be yours forever, to the glory of the Father, oh Lord, Amen.
