Sunday Lesson (Page 20)

Make of my heart a manger, Lord, to receive the newborn Christ Child. Calm my fears, and give me peace, Lord, that I witness the birth of the Christ Child in everyday experience. Give me a sign, Lord, that the Christ Child is born in the midst of the simple life. In steadfast, stable faith, Lord, I behold the newborn Christ Child in the manger of my heart.

What are we talking about this Sunday? I am safe, for wherever I am, God is. I am safe, for God is mighty in the midst of me. I am safe, for in God I trust. I am safe in my safe zone: the Secret Place of the Most High, the silent space of prayer. Lord, teach me to pray.

The power of the Holy Spirit is mighty in the midst of my own inner self. I am grateful for the wisdom and power of the indwelling Christ, manifesting now. Right here, right now, I am centered in the love and power of the Holy Spirit. In the stillness, I find the strength to meet anything and everything, right here inside.
