A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, December 19th

Good Morning, God
Lord, here it is less than a week before the celebration of your Son Jesus' birthday.  We see the decorations that beautify the landscapes and our homes.  We deal with the extra crowds around the check-out stands.  We deal with all of the extra cars in the parking lots and on the streets.
But, often, Lord, we have a very hard time coping.  We don't see the beauty; we only see lights that blind us and that cause confusion.  We can't deal with the crowds because it feels that we are drowning in an overwhelming sea.  And, when we are on the streets, all we want to do is ram our vehicle into every other vehicle around us.
Lord, may all of us enjoy the beauty and meaning of this Christmas season.  But, if we are feeling sad, overwhelmed and like there is no use, protect us from ourselves and draw us close to you and those who can help us.
In Jesus name, Amen
