A Christmas Prayer About Giving In Poverty At Christmas

Precious Lord, Wonderful Savior, Gracious Heavenly Father…
O, how I love you, Precious Lord Jesus.
It is the Christmas season.
The stores are full of people buying gifts for others.
But for me, this year I am poor.
I have very little I can give in material things.
I know it shouldn't bother me but not being able to give gifts eats me up inside.
What am I to do?
This year, in my poverty, give me a way to give your love.
This year, at a time when I cannot give a physical gift, give me a way to give you compassion.
This year, at a time when I have barely enough to eat, give me a way to reach out to others in your name.
In your name and by your power, bestow upon all those I pray for each day the most wonderful gifts this year.
In some miraculous way, in a way only you can work, shower the children with gifts to make them happy.
All these things I humbly pray in the name of my most Blessed Lord Jesus Christ, my Mighty God, and my Ever-present Holy Spirit upon whom I can rely.
Amen
