Anne Graham Lotz: On Christmas, a prayer for the lonely

foxnews.com:

On this day that is traditionally one where family and friends gather to eat, exchange gifts, and simply enjoy what has become a very festive holiday, I'm mindful that this year is very different.

Many of us are separated from loved ones. Christmas Day can be a day of acute loneliness.The void left by empty chairs in the family circle seems more painful in the midst of the hustle and bustle, the tinsel and lights.

Yet this day has heart-comforting meaning for the lonely, because God promised: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel—which means, ‘God with us’. (Matthew 1:23) The following is my prayer for you…and for me.… All-Knowing, All-Seeing God, I worship You as One who has eyes to.
