A PRAYER , for the living and the dead.
This is a Prayer written by Max Lucado, - he is an author, pastor ,minister and a dad. I think his prayer this Christmas , thinking about the dead children at the Connecticut school and their relatives and friends , and also those close to the shooter - this prayer reflects my heart.
Dear Jesus,
It's a good thing you were born at night. This world sure seems dark. I have a good eye for silver linings. But they seem dimmer lately.
These killings, Lord. These children, Lord. Innocence violated. Raw evil demonstrated.
The whole world seems on edge. Trigger-happy. Ticked off. We hear threats of chemical weapons and nuclear bombs. Are we one button-push away from annihilation?
Your world seems a bit darker this Christmas. But you were born in the dark, right? You came at night. The shepherds were nightshift workers. The Wise Men followed a star. Your first cries were heard in the shadows. To see your face, Mary and Joseph needed a candle flame. It was dark. Dark with Herod's jealousy. Dark with Roman oppression. Dark with poverty. Dark with violence.
Herod went on a rampage, killing babies. Joseph took you and your mom into Egypt. You were an immigrant before you were a Nazarene.
Oh, Lord Jesus, you entered the dark world of your day. Won't you enter ours? We are weary of bloodshed. We, like the wise men, are looking for a star. We, like the shepherds, are kneeling at a manger.
This Christmas, we ask you, heal us, help us, be born anew in us.
Hopefully,
Your Children

Beautiful letter - thanks for posting it (so moving and true). I also appreciate the "Ray Of Hope" image ... this is a very good presentation that shares much for anyone who is blessed to view your posting and page! GBY
Thank you so much for creating this beautiful wallpaper. Although not directly affected by this tragedy, as a Connecticut resident and mother of four, it hit me very close to home. It is heart warming to see so much love coming from around the country and around the world, for that matter! Thank you again!
Beautiful Wallpaper with very moving and true message. Thank you so much for shairing this with us. God bless and Merry Christmas to you and yours. In my favs.
