A Prayer When Giving Thanks Is Hard - Your Daily Prayer - November 25

This time of year is not just about the gifts, the songs, the food, and the decorations. It's a season of remembrance, it's a season of giving and serving those around us just as the King of Kings left his home in heaven to come to earth in the most vulnerable form — a baby — to grow, live, and die a brutal death on a cross for us.

A Prayer for When Giving Thanks Is Hard By Molly Law  "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." -1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 The holidays are never cut and dry. Even though it feels as though life should be put on hold for the most joyous time of the year, unfortunately, it just doesn't work that way. I cannot describe what Christmas time does to me. It fills me with such unbridled joy — joy that I remember feeling as a child, joy in the way it brings families together. I await this feeling all year long. As I tend to feel more depressed during the Summer (I know few who feel this way during the summer rather than the winter), when the weather starts to turn, the leaves begin to color and then fall, and I feel the descent of the holidays, it erases that season and I feel joy in life once more. Of course, as I said, it's not that simple. Tragedy doesn't wait for the holidays to be over — it doesn't hold off until the day after Christmas to strike.    CONTINUE READING →
