O Heavenly Father, help me to prepare myself, like Bethlehem, to be the place of Your truth birth. Help me not to live in such a manner that I say, by my actions, to you, there is no room for Your presence in my internal Bethlehem. Help me to truly understand that I can, with Your help, make my heart and mind a fitting place where You can dwell. I know that I can do this by transforming the way that I think and, therefore, the way that I act. I know that all I have to say is: Come, O Lord   Jesus into my heart. I will make room for You in my life and make Your Kingdom real by the way that I voluntarily respond to all who come into my life and to the events of life. I ask your help and offer praise to You, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and ever and forever. Amen.
