Keep us from distractions and help us to invite You into all our family activities. Teach us to pray and help us to glorify and worship You in our family, during this busy time of year. Give us a spirit of wisdom and revelation that we might know You better (Ephesians 1:17). Thank you for being Immanuel, God with us. Open our eyes to realize this each day as we interact with others.
