Christmas Pain Prayer

Christmas is a time of pain for many people. Non-Christians sometimes feel alienated. Some people get upset because their Christmas “isn’t the way it is supposed to be.” For me Christmas is a time of loss, full of sad memories of those who have passed on. Recently a friend described how Christmas is a milestone for her, and she isn’t where she had wanted to be when she wrote her desires last Christmas.

Dear God, I know that Christmas is a time of pain for many people. Please ease any emotional or physical suffering. Help everyone to know that no matter who they are, no matter what is going on in their lives, that you love them. Help them to sense your comfort and strength surrounding them and to feel your peace. Help them to experience a moment of beauty Christmas Day and every day.  A-men
