Rick Warren Pens a Moving Christmas Prayer

Pastor Rick Warren has written a bautiful prayer for Christmas. He is best known as the founder and senior pastor of Saddleback Church, one of the largest and most influential churches in the United States. Warren is also known for his bestselling book "The Purpose Driven Life," which has sold millions of copies worldwide and has been translated into many languages.
In addition to his pastoral work, Warren is involved in various humanitarian efforts and has been a prominent voice in discussions on faith, purpose, and societal issues.
Here is the prayer:
"Dear God, You have given us the greatest hope in your Son, Jesus Christ. Thank you for being a good God who loves his creation so much that you sent a Savior to redeem it.
Christmas is not a cure for grief or hardship, but the gift of Jesus Christ is. You've given us the hope of salvation through faith in Jesus.
We can celebrate Jesus's coming to earth-not because it makes all our troubles go away but because we can have the joy of your promise to heal our hearts and one day return to make all things whole again.
We want to be the kind of people who embody and exhibit your joy. Give us strength and courage to live a joy-filled life, anchored in your faithfulness and past grace and overflowing with hope for future grace.
Please help us to share the reason for our joy with the people around us who are hurting this Christmas. Thank you for giving us reasons to be glad.
In your name I pray. Amen"
