Today is the first in a series of daily Christmas blogs I did last Christmas called 25 Prayers of Christmas, or 25 Christmas Prayers, celebrating the names of our precious Lord. I hope they will enrich your Christmas season again this year and draw you closer to the One who is the true reason for Christmas. Be blessed as you celebrate the 25 days of Christmas with these Christmas Prayers.

Day 1 – Wonderful Counselor

Lord, at Christmas time we acknowledge you as our Wonderful Counselor. You are truly a counselor full of wonder. And Your ways are both mysterious and wonder-filled. The counsel You give is marvelous and wise–so unlike our own thoughts and plans. 

Who can explain Your wonderful plan to send us Your very best–Your own Son? And how grateful we are that You even design wonderful, unique plans for each of us as Your children. Read more
