<\/a>However, if you know me at all, that\u2019s not going to be for a month or so. And Christmas music? Well, that\u2019s something I listen to year-round.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I like this song for several reasons. The style, the beat, the music, the rhythm, the lyrics. It\u2019s a fun Christmas song, but it has a message as well.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Prayer. The entire song is a prayer. It\u2019s a piece that shows how vulnerable we as human beings really are and that we need God.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I\u2019m sure there are artists that sing this song because of some of the reasons above, but there is a call for change in this song as well. When they come to realize what they are singing, when the words touch their heart, their life is changed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now I don\u2019t know that any musicians have been changed by this song, but if God can use a donkey (Numbers 22:21-39) to make a difference in someone\u2019s life, surely He can use a piece of music. And I\u2019m not really sure what Harry Connick, Jr had in mind when he wrote this tune, but I know for sure, if God can do His work through a song-writer, He will.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This prayer is just the beginning. Just one day of prayer. When we take time to communicate with God through prayer daily (and throughout our day), our relationship with Him grows and blossoms. We become deeply involved with God and we find great comfort in being with Him.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The reality is that bad things are still going to happen. Some of the sick will not get well. Some will make wrong decisions. Some will not understand. Some will wake up to problems today.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But when we allow God to be with us through it all, when we fall deeply in love with Him, reality isn\u2019t nearly so bad.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Perhaps this song was your prayer on Christmas, but I ask that you make it your daily prayer. To bask in God\u2019s love and to do His will. To let Him do the leading and you do the following. Ask Him to bring you understanding and wisdom to help you through today. I can guarantee, God will hear your song.<\/p>\n
