10 Prayers For Believers In A Busy Season
The holidays are a complicated time of year. There’s magic in the air—so much joy and hope. After all, who doesn’t love twinkle lights, big Christmas dinners, and family time? There are holiday movies and traditions and cozy socks with roaring fireplaces.
But it’s not all goodness and light. There’s also a lot of stress in making the magic happen. Parents, especially, feel the pressure to make the holiday fun for their children or visiting relatives. Ministries burn out attempting to ensure those in low-income situations have gifts for their families. Pastors grow weary from carrying the burdens of those who are brokenhearted in the holiday season. Couples argue over money and where to spend Thanksgiving Day versus Christmas Eve. Children grow irritable from sugar rushes and too much emphasis on “getting.” It’s no wonder we struggle with anxiety from all sides…and then feel guilty for doing so.
