Dear God,

There is so much sadness in the air.  So many are suffering.  People are getting sick and dying.  Families can't even be with their loved ones while they die with Covid.  Others are strapped for money to buy food, pay rent and take care of themselves.  The list goes on and on.  O God, when will the suffering ease?

We need you, Great Shepherd of the Flock.  We need your tender care, mercy and love.  We need someone to hold our hand and help us through the difficult time now and what is ahead.  Everyone needs to know someone, somewhere loves them.

Come Immanuel, come and sing to your people.  Sing of hope, peace and comfort.  Come, Immanuel, and bring us your guidance.  Guide us to green pastures and flowing fountains.  Come, Immanuel, and tell us the story of Christmas once again.  

Loving God,

help all those

who are

in pain.

Help those

who cannot see

hope for today.

Help those

who need you

for life today.

Thank you.

Love, Andrea
