God, we pray this Christmas...

For all those who have a song they cannot sing,
For all who have a burden they cannot bear,
For all who live in chains they cannot break,
For those who wander homeless and cannot return,
For those who are sick and for those who care for them,
For those who wait for loved one and wait in vain.
For all those who live in hunger
And for those who will not share their bread.
For those who are misunderstood
And for those who misunderstand,
For those who are captives and for those who are captors,
For those whose words of love are locked within their hearts
And for those who yearn to hear those very words of love.
