19 Best Christmas Affirmations from Holiday Worship Songs

Declaring these positive Christmas affirmations will help you connect more personally with the greatest gifts of God this season!

Christmas spirit isn’t always easy to muster. The festive season can sometimes shine a bright light on any difficulty we’re facing, making it seem like a lonely season when everyone else is bursting with holiday cheer. Some years finding joy feels impossible. If that’s true for you this year, bring your weary heart and any negative thoughts into this holiday devotional without shame and be honest with God. This is a safe place to sigh heavily, release all expectations, and just be.

And here’s one more important reminder. You aren’t burdened with lifting the hearts of everyone around you, though it can certainly feel that way if you’re in a position of leadership, ministry, or parenting. Using these Christmas affirmations will help you redirect any time you begin to take on that weight.

How To find Christmas Cheer?

Just for now, as you read, take this time for yourself. Grab a warm beverage, put on your favorite instrumental holiday playlist, maybe even light a candle, and settle into a cozy spot. Carve out a little me-time where you don’t need to perform. Me-time isn’t selfish, but if you struggle with that, give in to a selfish snippet.

Invite Jesus to talk to your heart and brighten your spirit. The toughness of the day may not disappear, but no one goes unchanged after spending time with their Creator! So hang in there as we dust off a few old Christmas carols, look past the traditional aspects and allow the Holy Spirit to breathe new life into your weary heart with this holiday devotional and the positive holiday affirmations that follow.

Hark! the Herald Angels Christmas Prayer

The entirety of Hark! the Herald Angels Sing reads like a prayer of worship and is another great way to connect with the joy of the season and in humility, let go of any negativity. During this special time of year, we can use worship to encourage us to have an open heart and use an awareness of Immanuel, God with Us, to let go of stress.

There’s no time like the present moment to create a fresh start in your thoughts, but it isn’t an easy accomplishment for many of us. Worshipping God is a very powerful tool for turning our thoughts around. Whether it brings upliftment to the soul or comfort in the trial, our humble sacrifices of praise are the perfect way to welcome in a positive mindset rooted in hope that does not disappoint (see Hebrews 6:19)! Viewed this way, worship of God could be one of the most dependable positive coping skills in your repertoire. 

Let this better way of handling stress and overwhelm help you reclaim Christmas as the most wonderful time of year. You can start by opening your heart in prayer then reading the Hark! the Herald Angels lyrics and prayer responses below.

Come, Desire of nations, come,
Fix in us Thy humble home;
Rise, the woman’s conquering Seed,
Bruise in us the serpent’s head.

Pray

God, birth your Living Word in my heart. Stamp out and bruise anything in me that would rise up against your perfect ways. Let me never take my access to you for granted! May my whole life be for you and your glory.

Now display Thy saving power,
Ruined nature now restore;
Now in mystic union join
Thine to ours, and ours to Thine.

Pray

Tether my heart to yours and show me who you are without limit, God. Display your power in bringing Life to all things. In Jesus, we receive mystic union, holistic union, righteous union with our Sovereign God (see John 14:20).

Adam’s likeness, Lord, efface,
Stamp Thine image in its place:
Second Adam from above,
Reinstate us in Thy love.

Pray

Created in your image, God, come and finish the work of birthing Eternal Life. Let us now reflect you in body, mind, and spirit. Erase any parts that are self-absorbed. Stamp your image in its place! What was created from dust includes death, but what is created from your spirit produces Life and Love Eternal (see 1 Corinthians 15:45-49 and 21-22, Romans 5:12-17).

Let us Thee, though lost, regain,
Thee, the Life, the inner man:
O, to all Thyself impart,
Formed in each believing heart

Pray

Let me regain my nearness to you. Anything that was lost, redeem. Let me reflect You with clarity. Impart yourself into every bit, and transform me holistically! I believe in you and I welcome you this season, and always. 

Amen and Amen.
