I've just read a blog of an intercessor about Christmas - for her "T'is the season to be jolly" was not possible for several years since losing her son in a traffic accident. Thanksgiving and Christmas were awful, painful reminders of her big loss. But now, there is enough healing and peace to celebrate the birth of Jesus again. The love of the Lord, that carried her through dark times, has broken through at last. Missing her son will always be there, until they are united in the Lord, but she can lift her head again and sing with joy of God's grace and the gift of His Son as the Savior of the world.
So, for those whose Christmas is a time of sorrow and hardship, pain and loneliness, even fear and despair, we pray.
May joy come again in the morning, though weeping endures for a night. May the Presence of Lord Jesus Christ carry each one through, bring strength and peace and rest, in Jesus' Name we pray.
