Prayer on Christmas Eve
Holy Father of all love,
Remember the lonely ones tonight. Those who are aching tonight to be held by someone. Those who just want someone to hold. Those who are separated from their families, whether by thousands of miles or just one. Those who are especially lonely during family-focused holidays. Those who have no families, whether literally or figuratively. Those who are struggling with having desires that dishonor Your heart. Those teenagers who are desperate to be known. Those young adults who are searching for a true source for life. Those older adults who know too much of the brokenness of this world to have hope. Those who are going to bed tonight alone--again.
Father, I lift us up to You and beg for Your comfort, Your peace, Your love. Let us know the power of your steadfast love and the security and serenity of being known by You.
You alone are worthy. You alone are holy. You alone are.
Through Christ who is Your image, our intercessor,
Amen.
