Every good story has a plot twist—an unexpected moment that changes everything. One of the biggest plot twists in the Bible is the Christmas story. Over the next five days, we’ll explore how this one event changed the world and how it can change your life today.

We’ve all heard the phrase, “Things are looking up.” It means the situation is improving. The Bible tells us that things will start looking up when we start looking up. Get your eyes off your circumstances and onto God.

The Christmas story is one surprise after another. But sometimes the details become so familiar that they lose their impact. These short prayer devotionals help you to dwell deeply on the most unexpected and significant event in history: that God himself became one of us. Each prayer is written by David Mathis, executive editor for desiringGod.org and pastor at Cities Church in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Over the next 12 days, we’re going to take a journey through the Christmas story and discover not only why it’s the greatest story ever told, but also how Christmas is truly for everyone!
