to. If you actually want to reply, without further ado, come on, we're prime for the name of Jesus to rise through this month. But as we knuckle down into December, you know, commercialize Christmas, we got to pray that the Spirit of the Lord will move over every house, every home. Father, in the name of Jesus, as we are in commercialize Christmas, as we are in this month, Father, we pray that that will break and the name and the power and the love of Jesus Christ will rise, Lord.
That the Spirit of the Lord, but right now, Lord, we hold on to Psalm 147, verse 3. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Father, wherever we are, from London, Toronto, from Toronto to Sydney, Cape Town, Boston, Belfast, England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, France, Sudan, Father, Lord, Tel Aviv, Lord, Cape Town, wherever we are gathering, America, Canada. Lord God, let your fire flow right now. Spirit of the living God, we pray as we lock down, dear God, on the field of life. Father, as we lock down, whether we're on the school run, whether we're on the commute run, whether we're on the sandwich run, the coffee run, whatever we are doing, Lord, we need the glory, we need the power, we need the anointing. Father, Lord, we need strength. We got to be sustained. Lord, you've got to give us supernatural peace because this month is heavy. And Lord, as the 25th is getting closer and closer and closer, Lord, we really need your
help. Father, we need peace. And we're praying for the empty chair at Christmas. We're praying, dear God, for relationships that are broken. We're praying, dear God, for those that are going through grief. Dear God, those that have lost ones this week, last week, and back over the year and beyond. Father, we're praying for the empty chair, dear God, that doesn't go away at Christmas. We're praying, dear God, for the family gatherings, Lord, where we got an empty chair. Lord, whether that's done by bereavement, whether that's done by family breakdown, whether that's done by whatever means and however, Father, the chair that is empty at the table at this Christmas, Father, we pray, Lord God, that you will wipe our tears, that you will carry our heart. Lord, we're praying for healing from grief, from loss, from that empty presence, dear God, that we feel. Lord, guilt, worry, doubt. Lord, if should I possibly maybe? Lord, all that stuff, all the fears and the tremors that rumble around in us, but Lord, we hold on to Psalm 1473 right now. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. And Lord, also we lay in, Lord, we lay in Revelation 21, 4.
We kneel at the cross because there's nowhere else to go. Lord, the Christmas tree is pagan. Lord, the Christmas tree is not going to give us anything. Lord, what we need is the cross of Calvary. So when we look at the Christmas tree, help us to see the cross of Calvary. And Lord, everyone that is looking at a tree right now, everyone, dear God, is doing the decorations of their homes. Lord, we pray that the cross will be prominent in our house. The cross of Calvary. The cross. Because at the cross, Father, oh my God, we thank you for redemption right now. We thank you for the blood of Jesus. We thank you that we are Bible-believing believers. And wherever we sit, we lay in revelations. We lay in Revelations 21:4. He
will wipe every tear from their eyes. Lord, I pray for the empty chair. The empty chair in the living room. The empty chair at work. The empty chair at school. Culture. The empty chair, dear God, at the dining room table, the empty chair, dear God, at the boardroom table. The empty chair, dear God, wherever human beings gather. We pray, dear God, that as we see the empty chair, Lord, as we see family breakdowns like we've never seen before, we pray that you will remove those memories that are so intense right now. The memories that are so strong and so powerful. It's making our bones ache. It's making us tired. We're weary and we're stressed out. Lord, we're aching. We're aching and we're longing for peace. Come, Holy Spirit, bless us wherever we are today. But Lord, surround us with your love. Surround yourself with hurting people right now and carry them and get them to victory in Jesus' name.
Until tomorrow. God bless.
