Prayer

A Christmas prayer for hope

Jesus, the Light of the World,
as we celebrate your birth,
may we begin to see the world in the light of understanding you give us.

As you chose the lowly, the outcasts, and the poor
to receive the greatest news the world had ever known,
so may we worship you in meekness of heart.

May we also remember our brothers and sisters less fortunate than
ourselves in this season of giving.

Amen.
— Karen L. Oberst

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow
with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13
