My Christmas Prayer




Pray.

People find themselves this Christmas…

Like any other Christmas,

Praying…


Praying to be found

Praying to be won

Praying for acceptance

Praying to be kept safe

Praying for happiness

Praying to be comforted

Praying to be loved


…Praying

Praying to find some sort of peace within themselves…


…Praying—

And I’ve seen myself praying…


In my sleep I pray

In daylight,

As I speak, walk…

The prayer in my head goes on and on…


Waiting to be heard—

Waiting in line to be granted…


The prayer in my mind

Has been my prayer since birth…

To find peace

To be loved

To be comforted

To find happiness

To be kept safe

To be accepted

To be won

And to be found


Pray.

The prayer deep within…

The prayer…

The prayer that I want Him to hear if He does has the ears to listen…

If He does have the heart to grant…


How can something so right be so wrong…?

I hope He understands,

I hope He knows it’s what I feel is right—


My Faith tested.

And yet, prayer is the only thing that keeps me grounded.


So pray.

Pray this Christmas…

Pray.

It might be the only thing you have left to say—

…even to the air


And so I pray this Christmas,

That next Christmas

I might have the prayer

My prayer and even yours…

I'm praying for myself, and I'm praying for you. And I'm praying for all who matter to me. Including you. Be happy, you deserve it.
