One of the most important Christian holidays, Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem. It is a day to go to church, pray and spend time around the family table.
Take a few minutes in a quiet atmosphere to focus on spiritual things. You can pray at home, in the temple or anywhere you feel comfortable. the main thing in prayer is sincerity.
It is not necessary to use ready-made texts, speak to God in your own words. Begin your prayer by thanking God for everything you have, especially for the gift of the birth of Jesus Christ. Christmas is a time of unity, so it is important to pray for others : family, friends, neighbours and even enemies.
Christmas prayers
Lord, my God and my father. I thank you for sending your Son to save me. It was a sacrifice for you, but as hard as it was for you, you did it to give hope to those who didn’t have it, to give salvation to those who didn’t even deserve it. And just as you, Jesus, were born and brought salvation, inner peace, happiness in family and personal life, and healing from all diseases, I ask that you be born for me too, so that I will not see any more acts of evil in my life.
Give me joy, peace, rest, happiness, love. Transform my thinking, my mind, my family and my whole life. My dear father, I also thank you for the opportunity to be in your home, in your presence, to serve you with my life and to glorify you.
Lord, I place my whole life in your holy hands and ask you to use me WHERE you want me, when you want me, and how you want me. From this moment on, my life is in Your holy hands. And I promise you that I will faithfully serve you for the rest of my life.
Lord, I ask you to always keep, protect and defend me and my whole family from all the evil and temptations that are in this world. Because I myself will not be able to withstand all the pressures and temptations of this world. But with your help everything is possible! In the name of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen!
In the name of Jesus Christ, I declare that I will no longer live by the body, but only by the spirit. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen!

Now and forever and ever. Amen. Amen. Amen.

Prayer for health
Into the hands of thy great mercy, O my God, I commit my soul and my body, my feelings and my words, my counsels and my thoughts, my deeds and all the body and soul of my movement. But Thou, O most merciful God, of all the world by sins of irresistible goodness, unkind, O Lord, receive me into the hands of Thy defence and deliver me from all evil, cleanse my many faults, give correction to my evil and reprehensible life and protect me, and cover my weakness from demons, passions and evil men.
Prayer of blessing for a child
Mother of God, as you held your son, the Child Jesus in your arms this day. You swaddled him in a soft blanket, blessed him with your hand for happiness and good fortune. Bless my child (name) too. Raise your holy hand, my child to cross, bless for good luck and happiness in life, for a long and rich, cheerful and beautiful life. As long as people will remember you and your Son Jesus Christ-nobody can interrupt my words. Amen.
Prayer for the protection and happiness of children
O Lord God, our saviour, I call to you. I ask your mercy for my children (names). Preserve and have mercy on them with your palm. Protect them from evil thoughts and guide them to the path of truth. Your children are small, incomprehensible. Reveal to them the truth and let them live without sin in their souls. Illuminate their path and protect them from the evil eye and unclean words. I will pray to you, I will raise words of light and pure. Help me to bring up my children in true faith and happiness. Amen.
