Prayers of Hope and Blessing for Christmas
Once a month I write a letter of hope and blessing to the wonderful Prayer for Prodigals community I am part of. Often those letters, though specific to those who love a prodigal, apply to any or all of us needing hope and blessing in the challenging circumstances of life.
Dear Lover of Prodigals,
It’s that time of year again, isn’t it!
The time to give and receive, to enjoy your family, to celebrate the birth of our Savior, to rejoice with the angel choirs.Yet, for so many of us with wandering loved ones, it is a time to grieve, to cry out, to weep, to cling to hope…
Today, may I pray for you? May these blessings encourage you and your prodigal:
