Holiday Blues

During this season, many people get depressed for a variety of reasons.

I'm posting an adapted prayer from a reader on Beliefnet if you are also one of these folks. I have been there, done that, many years. Happily this year is different for me. May it be so for you as well!

Remember the holiday season can bring a sense of Faith, Hope, Love, and Redemption for us all as it did ultimately for Charlie Brown, Ebeneezer Scrooge, George Bailey and The Grinch!

This year may you open your eyes to find someone around you who is your Linus, Jacob Marley, Guardian Angel Clarence, or Whos in Whooville that helps you find your way to peace and happiness this holiday season and in the new year!

Prayer for Those Who Are Depressed

Dear God,

When it seems that we are actually, finally at our wits' end... and we've seen the end of all that we can do, that is when you are at your nearest, your most miraculous, your best. Sometimes, the road we trudge seems destined to be dusty and desolate forever. And yet, just around the corner, just over the next hill, we see new life, we see hope. I pray for this hope for those who [are depressed].

May you bring them what they need, that they may once again be dancing on this earth.

Amen.
