Heavenly Father, Praise to You for the birth of your most precious Son, Jesus Christ. In Him Your Word was made Flesh. He was mortal as all humankind. Yet because of His death and resurrection, I may have eternal life with You. As I begin the New Year, God, please help me to be reborn and have renewed life in Your Son, Jesus Christ. May I dwell in Him as He dwells in me all the days of the coming year. Amen
