Isaiah 9: In Galilee of the Gentiles. The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined.
During the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, my family has always enjoyed watching Christmas themed movies and celebrating time with friends. For us, an opportunity to have a world focused on giving and receiving and thanking the God of Comfort is special. More so, the stirring story of God become man to bring us back into unity with Him and each other lifts my soul. Whether you believe it or not, you have to admit, Friend, it is a great message of hope.
I am thankful for each of my friends and family. The honor to exchange prayer with you, Friend, is a blessing.
Yet, there is darkness. The events in Connecticut are horrendous and full of grief. So are other events throughout our world. Every moment abuse is in motion and the hearts and minds and bodies of individuals are tormented. The light of Christ gives us relief. Dwelling on the pain too often darkens our souls.
So let me pray:
Father, let some light into our darkened world.
Bring relief to those families and friends whose sensibility has been assaulted.
Guide them through grief and anger and pain and connect them with the Light of Christ.
Through love of family and friend bring healing to their minds and emotions.
Erase thoughts of feelings of guilt with a redemptive embrace of Christ's love.
Erase pains of remorse and loss with a confidence in acceptance in the Family of God.
Stay beside them Father in days ahead. Comfort them.
Father, bless my friend, Friend.
In this Christmas season of Life shine joyfully over Friend.
Capture happiness deep in the soul of Friend and bring it to life.
Don't let the darkness rule. Shine!
Give a hope and a lift in the truth that surely You love us so much that You were born one of us, lived as one of us, died as one of us, resurrected as one of us, and offer to live in us.
Bring Christmas alive in Friend.
