Christmas Prayer
This Christmas
A Prayer, Written for You
Christmas is not merry for everyone. For some it is an empty chair, a quiet house, a family far away, or a heart carrying more than it says out loud. You do not have to carry it alone. Send us your Christmas prayer request, and we will pray for you by name. Then a written prayer will come back to you, prayed over you and written for you, to keep and read again on the hard nights. Every request is held close and never shared. Requests close December 15, so every prayer is home before Christmas Eve.
How it works
1. Send your request in the form below, with your name and your email.
2. We pray for you by name. Every request is read by a real person, and every prayer is written by one too.
3. Your written prayer comes back to your email before Christmas Eve, prayed over you and written for you, to keep.
What a prayer back looks like
One of the prayers, written for a first Christmas with an empty chair. Yours will be written for you alone.
Dear [Name],
Thank you for trusting us with this. The first Christmas after losing someone carries a particular ache. The chair is still at the table. The favourite recipe still comes out of the drawer. The day arrives whether we feel ready for it or not.
Lord, be close to [Name] the way Your word promises. “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18, NIV). Hold every memory gently this Christmas. Let the tears come when they come, and let laughter visit without guilt when it finds its way in. Surround this home with people who still say [loved one’s name] out loud, and who are not afraid of the quiet that follows.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Your request will never be published or passed on, and prayer here is always free. If tonight is one of the hard nights and you need comfort now, our 2 AM Moments page is there for you.
