At what cost??? (Prayer)

“What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” Mark 8:36

Heavenly Father,

As the Christmas season is upon us, please do not let me focus on the purchasing of gifts, but the birth of Christ.  God, help me to focus on the blessing You have provided for me.  Giving Jesus to me was the best present I could have ever receive.  I do not want to gain the world of materialistic items and lose my soul.   You state in Your word, for us not to lay up ourselves treasures upon earth, but lay our treasures in heaven (Matt 6: 19-21). Materialistic things will fade away, but Your love is forever.

Thank you for the gift of joy, peace, and love. I give You praises for life, good health, and the strength to do my everyday activities. Jesus, I will not sacrifice my soul for the tangible gifts because You are the best gift to me.
 
In Jesus Name,
Amen
