Dear God,
This Christmas, we pause-not to rush, but to remember.
Thank You for carrying us through a year we didn't think we'd survive.
For the silent battles You saw.
For the tears You caught.
For the strength we didn't know we had.
Heal what still aches in our hearts.
Restore what life took away.
Protect our families, our health, and our peace.
Replace fear with faith, and worry with trust.
Bless the empty chairs at our tables with comfort.
Bless the full ones with gratitude.
Teach us to love softer, forgive quicker, and hold on less tightly to pain.
As we step toward 2026, give us wisdom instead of haste, peace instead of pressure, and faith strong enough to rest.
Amen.
