A Day to Take Heart

Lord,

how many times the disciples were encouraged to take heart!

 

You never gave up encouraging them,

even when they were going to leave you,

when they were frightened,

when they were confused,

when they couldn’t understand you.

 

Lord, help us to take heart

especially at this Christmas time

when everything gets hectic.

Help us to remember how much you love us! Amen.
