A Christmas Prayer

Lord I’m sending my request to you

Knowing that only you can make these wishes come true

On this the eve of your birth

Let there be peace on earth

For this and every Christmas to come,

May we live as one.

Remember the fathers and mothers that will be missed
And the children who have never experienced being loved and kissed.

This Christmas help us to look beyond our home.

To those who are all alone

May we be thankful for family and friends that care.
Help us to find enough love to share.

May we give thanks for all that we have got,

Knowing that these things mean a lot to those who have not.

Lord let your marvelous light penetrate the heart of every man

In every kingdom and every land.
So that on this the eve of your birth,
There will be peace on earth

May your love rain everywhere

This is my Christmas prayer.

P. Newman-Harris
