Prayer for grandmothers

Father, You gave us a name that holds the whole story. Immanuel. God with us. Three words, and they are still true. Lord Jesus, You are with us. Still. Today. In this quiet kitchen before the family arrives with the casseroles and the gifts. You are with them even now, on their way. You are with the small great-granddaughter who will hand me a homemade card. You are with the friend who is alone in her apartment with no one coming. You did not just visit us. You entered in. You became one of us. And You did not leave. Immanuel is not a one-time miracle. It is the ongoing reality. The name keeps being true. Walk me through this Christmas Day inside that truth. God with us. With me. With us all. The wonder of it never gets old. Amen.
