Let Christ Be Born
By Dorothy Pierson
There is an infant Christ in all…
An infant birth of love,
An infant birth of faith,
Just the tiniest beginning point of light that glimpses the Christmas story.
It draws deep from the soul
In music of the season
So beyond reason and
That night of wonder!
As the shepherds heard and saw
I, like the, in awe
View the infant Christ in me.

In me! Imagine the audacity!
It had to be a stable lowly—
I could not see myself holy
Except as a tiny newborn babe.
The mystic Star shines bright
And I, so encompassed in its light,
Let the warmth and healing Truth
Of that Christmas night enfold me.
I kneel
In adoration real
At my Christ’s birth.

A prayer from Unity of Bon Air Prayer Chaplain, Dottie Klammer:

Divine Presence,

When I have the doldrums.... When I don’t have a sense of purpose, I remember that somewhere inside I have the power of zeal or enthusiasm. It is innate. It is mine. With this knowledge I see outside of myself. I see what is mine to do. My action doesn’t have to be complicated. I don’t have to move mountains. It can be as simple as smiling at a stranger or a kind word. Just one small gesture can begin the flow of love that moves from God to me and to the world. We are all One. One small gesture can make a big difference in someone’s life. We are powerful beyond measure and don’t have to move mountains. We simply have to bloom where we are planted. And so it is.

Affirmation: I claim my power of zest. With enthusiasm I bloom where I’ve been planted.

From Unity of Bon Air Prayer Chaplain, Stephanie Metzger:

Dear Sweet Spirit

I bless the creator of seed and harvest

And I bless each living being in my life

I am grateful for the beauty of this world

And all the love that created it

I am a blessing of love

Today and all days

And so it is!

From the Handbook of Positive Prayer by Hypatia Hasbrouck:

“In the practice of positive prayer, we deliberately choose thoughts that focus on the good we desire rather than on the loss, lack, or limitation we may be experiencing. In prayer, we learn to avoid thinking or speaking about unwanted conditions and to concentrate upon the perfect outcome of challenges.”

From Psalms 139:7-10:

“Whither shall I go from thy Spirit?

Or wither shall I flee from thy presence?

If I ascend to heaven, thou art there!

If I make my bed in Sheol, thou art there!

If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there thy hand shall lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.”

from the Handbook of Positive Prayer by Hypatia Hasbrouck:

“If we are to pray constantly, our thoughts must always be consonant with the mind of God who dwells within us.

Positive prayer, then, is more than deliberate, conscious communication with God for some specific purpose (although it certainly is that). Positive prayer is the way to form a permanent attitude of mind that reflects the eternal, benevolent activity of God so that we may truly express our nature as the children of God, created in God’s image to express God’s likeness here on Earth.”
