Let’s Pray: Dear Lord, Our hearts are so heavy this Christmas season. Our hearts are hurting and broken, and we don’t have the strength to go through this Christmas season without you. Thank you for Scriptures like today that remind us that we don’t have to carry the hurt of our broken hearts alone. You will carry it for us because you offer the strength our broken hearts need during this season. We come to you, Lord, and ask that you give us rest, and your Word promises you will do that when we come to you because we are weary and our hearts are burdened. We cast our broken hearts onto you and attach ourselves to you so that you can now carry the hurt, pain, and brokenness our hearts feel. We trust that you have a plan for us and trust that this season won’t last forever, and you will use our brokenness for good. Help protect our hearts this Christmas season when it’s a constant reminder of just how broken we are. Fill us with your love and help us guard our hearts during this time. We love you, Lord, and thank you that we don’t have to do this alone, nor do we have to go through this Christmas season in our strength. We have your strength and rest to depend on. We thank you for that. In your name, we pray, Jesus. Amen
