Lord, I am so far from the likelihood of reaching my year-end goals due to lack of funds. But I know you can change things for the better without warning. I pray, Divine Master, that you will help me fulfill my literary and artistic goals, and help me obtain all the Christmas presents I would like my nearest and dearest to have. As for an unlikely White Christmas in a place where You rarely send snow, I'll leave that in Your Divine Hands as well. Amen.
