Dear God:
The hustle, the bustle,
and the gift-giving tussles
of this time of year
are so very distracting.
I pray today
for an infusion of
your peace
your calm
and
your clarity.
Bless me with
eyes that see the path
ears that hear the need
and a
heart filled with your love.
And through all these days of busy-ness,
remind me, God,
of the coming gift
that shines brighter
than any distraction could ever wish to shine.
Amen.
