    I enjoyed this book while on my breaks while working at home during covid 19, assisting others in need. I barely got this job by praying to god with the loss of the job I once had. Being in this position has cause and allowed me to pray for callers and my own family and friends during such a time as this.

Notes

A Prayer in the Dark Times

Dear Jesus,

It’s a good thing you were born at night. This world sure seems dark. I have a good eye for silver linings. But they seem dimmer lately.

The whole world seems on edge. Trigger-happy. Ticked off. We hear threats of chemical weapons and nuclear bombs. Are we one button-push away from annihilation?

Your world seems a bit darker these days. But you were born in the dark, right? You came at night. The shepherds were nightshift workers. The wise men followed a star. Your first cries were heard in the shadows. To see your face Mary and Joseph needed a candle flame. It was dark. Dark with Herod’s jealousy. Dark with Roman oppression. Dark with poverty. Dark with violence.

Herod went on a rampage, killing babies. Joseph took you and your mom into Egypt. You were an immigrant before you were a Nazarene.

Oh, Lord Jesus, you entered the dark world of your day. Won’t you enter ours? We are weary of bloodshed and pain. We, like the wise men, are looking for a star. We, like the shepherds, are kneeling at a manger.

We ask you, heal us, help us, be born anew in us.

Hopefully,

Your Children

CHAPTER 1

An Audacious Promise

She had a tremble to her, the inner tremble you could feel with just a hand on her shoulder. I saw her
