The Christmas season can be a bit messy because we, as human beings, are messy. However, it's precisely because of our imperfections that Christmas exists. To understand the reason for Christmas, it's important to know the background of the Christmas Story. Through sending Jesus, God initiated the process of blessing and renewing the world and invited us to restore our relationship with Him.
Christmas is a reminder that God came to be with us, wants to be with us, and can be with us.
We defeat inadequacy by, like David, deciding to do what only we can do and using what God has given us.
A fruitful prayer life is cultivated by constant practice.
