A Christmas Day Prayer of Optimism

Dec. 24, 2010 - PRLog -- Christmas Day Prayer of Optimism by Dr. Russ Buss

Dear Lord, on this day as we give thanks for Your gift of the new born King of Kings;
Let us rejoice in His message of the hope and joy of new beginnings.
Give us the foresight to envision the possibilities of new life paths.
Let us relinquish any past course that no longer follows your star.
Release us from the limits that bind our hearts and minds from believing in afar.
Open our thoughts to acceptance of all, no matter how different they are.
Give us the courage to take the needed risks to seek out new opportunities,
Just as your Son did,
When He led His disciples to have no fear
Of the sacrificial Cross or of spreading your Word to new communities;
And, as we prepare to act on our new found faith,  
We ask that you keep the way lit by that brightest of stars so we too,
Like a shepherd or king,
May stand in awe and reverence next the Christ child, in a manger, about whom we all sing;
As He forged a path for a new VIEW OF HEAVEN ON EARTH,
So let us uphold that spirit of OPTIMISM that came with His birth.
