Overwhelmed. Stressed, even. Maybe exhausted, already?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the most wonderful time of the year, but if your mind and heart haven\u2019t already filled with noise and activity, it\u2019s probably just a matter of time before they do. But that doesn\u2019t mean prayer has to be pushed aside. In fact, just a few one-word prayers can set the tone and make a difference in your Advent and Christmas celebrations. Here are four I suggest:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1)  Oh! <\/strong><br \/>\nYou may be <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/pray-the-magnificat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">familiar with the Magnificat<\/a>, the famous prayer the young Mary prayed when the angel Gabriel announced to her that she would be the mother of Jesus, the Messiah. I love how the prayer begins in the New Living Translation: \u201cOh, how my soul praises the Lord\u201d (Luke 1:46, NLT). It\u2019s a useful word through this special season; it can be a syllable of surprise, wonder and praise. Make it a prayer when you see, hear or experience something extraordinary: \u201cOh!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>2)  Come<\/strong><br \/>\nYou\u2019ve probably sung the carol, \u201cO Come, O Come, Immanuel.\u201d The hymn incorporates the ancient \u201cO Antiphons\u201d of the church, which date to the 8th century\u2014perhaps farther back in history. There is perhaps no more appropriate prayer for Advent, as we anticipate the celebration of Jesus\u2019 coming. Try praying this single word, \u201cCome,\u201d when you feel alone or stretched to your limits. Whisper it to invite the gracious, calming presence of Jesus into the rude stable of your life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3)  Shhh<\/strong><br \/>\nDoes anyone doubt that one of Mary\u2019s or Joseph\u2019s first prayers to Jesus, as they \u201cwrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger\u201d (Luke 2:7, NIV), was \u201cshhhh?\u201d It seems as certain and fitting as everything else we know about that strange and wonderful night. Two thousand years later, it can be turned into a reminder to our own souls, a plea for quiet amid all the tumult, all the distractions, that tend to crowd out the music and beauty of our Savior\u2019s presence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4)  Bless<\/strong><br \/>\nThe pastor and hymnwriter Phillips Brooks included these words in \u201cO Little Town of Bethlehem\u201d:<\/p>\n<p><em>How silently, how silently<br \/>\nThe wondrous gift is given<br \/>\nSo God imparts to human hearts<br \/>\nThe blessings of His heaven.<br \/>\nNo ear may hear His coming,<br \/>\nBut in this world of sin,<br \/>\nWhere meek souls will receive him still,<br \/>\nThe dear Christ enters in.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So, as you walk (and maybe run) through this season of celebration, let the word \u201cBless\u201d be often on your lips. You need not say much more; surely God will fill in the rest. When you see a weary traveler at a rest stop: \u201cBless.\u201d As you wait in line for a cashier: \u201cBless.\u201d Whatever else you may be doing or thinking, reach out to those around you with a <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/holiday-prayers\/20-christmas-prayer-prompts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">simple prayer to God<\/a>: \u201cBless.\u201d <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Tis the season to be\u2026busy.
