Praying For You At Christmas

I’m praying for you at Christmas. May God pour out His blessings on you.

I pray that you are surrounded by your family and friends who love you, that you feel the hope, peace and joy that the Christmas spirit brings and that you remember the reason behind the season: Jesus.

Praying began early for me.  I prayed about everyone and everything.  And I still do. I pray for people whom I’ve never met, I pray for people I know just a little bit and I pray for people in my circle.  Because I know without a shadow of a doubt, prayer changes things.  Believe me, I would not be here if it weren’t for prayer.

So, during this wonderful, blessed time–Christmas–I am praying for you.

I said a Christmas Prayer for you because the season’s near.  I didn’t ask for riches but for gifts so much more dear. I asked for joyful gatherings with your family all around, and for carols to inspire you with their old familiar sound.  I asked for quiet moments in your heart on Christmas morn, for a special time to celebrate The Savior who was born.

My prayers extend beyond the Christmas Season.  I continue to pray for you throughout the year.  You’re right.  I don’t know you.  And you don’t know me except for what you see on your screen from me each day.  But God knows your situation and He knows what you need and when you need it.

So, I pray for you.  I know you sometimes struggle, that you sometimes feel hopeless and you may think that God has left you.  He hasn’t.  I pray that you never lose hope and that God reminds you that He is with you. And I pray for your families and friends.  That they be blessed by God.

Sending you prayerful blessings of love, peace and joy from Sterrett, Alabama!
