This Christmas, please pray to the Christ Child for the lonely and the heartbroken. Pray that they turn to the Savior for the enduring kind of consolation that He, and only He, can give them
A Christmas Prayer for the Lonely and the Heartbroken
There’s probably someone like this in your neighbourhood. A man who lives up the road from me, lost his wife to cancer in September and faces this Christmas feeling lost, lonely and heartbroken at the prospect of having to spend his first Christmas without his loving wife of more than 30 years.
To him, the strains of every Christmas carol, every lighted tree he sees through neighbourhood windows on his long lonely walks on the country road where we live brings heartbreaking memories of other Christmases rushing back.
