About this series
The daily meditations in Prayer Steps to Serenity: Daily Quiet Time Edition will help you enjoy each day with a peaceful spirit, so you can bring positive changes into your life. The sixty short meditations can by read in sixty days. On the other hand, you may prefer to read one meditation in the morning and another in the evening. Read the meditations in the order in which they appear, for they do follow a progressive and logical plan to help you grow mentally and spiritually. I encourage you to read this book everyday, and then quietly think about the teachings in that day’s reading. Through daily prayer steps, God will enable you to:
Quiet your mind and emotions to enjoy inner peace.
Think about your real needs and how to meet them.
Manage your life in ways that will lead to lasting happiness.
Talk to God and others easily, effectively and enjoyably.
Mend broken relationships and restore shattered dreams.
Dream new dreams and achieve new purposes.
Practicing a daily “Quiet Time” will enable you to spend more time alone with God. At the end of each reading, spend some time with God in prayer. Listen to God as He speaks to you through His word. Talk to God about your needs and problems. Ask God to show you His will for your life. Commit your day and plans to God. Ask God to give you His wisdom and power for that day.

- Prayer Steps to Christmas: Daily Quiet Time Edition
1
We often hear the comment, “Put Christ back into Christmas!” During the Advent and Christmas season, Prayer Steps to Christmas will help you keep your heart and mind focused on Jesus Christ and what the Bible teaches about His birth and the meaning of His coming into the world. You will also learn more about the meaning of His coming into your life, if you will open your heart and invite Him to reign in the center of your life as you learn more about what He wants to do within you. One Prayer Step at a time, the thirty-one daily meditations and prayers can be read in the morning or evening, at the table before or after a meal, during family devotions, or at the beginning or close of a group Bible study or Sunday school class. You can consider the “Thinking Further” questions throughout the day or discuss the questions with your family, in a Bible study group, or in your church group. To help those who do not have their Bible close at hand, in the back of this book you will find the records of Jesus’ birth as told in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. The verses from these two books of the Bible have been put into a possible chronological order for a “Harmony of the Gospels;” so you can read the incidents surrounding Jesus’ birth in the possible chronological order of events. As you read through the “Harmony of the Gospels,” in either the King James Version of the Bible or the English Standard Version of the Bible, the verses in italics are verses that have been used in the Prayer Steps to Christmas meditations. With the use of hyperlinks in e-books, you can go from a verse in a meditation to read the verse in the chapter’s context or you can go from a verse in the “Harmony of the Gospels” to the Prayer Step meditation on that verse. With the flexibility e-books offer, if you need to teach or read a devotional on a particular verse of the Bible you can easily read both from a chapter in the Bible and then read the daily meditation and prayer that corresponds with the portion you read from the Bible.
