Feeling lost or overwhelmed this Christmas? đ The Christmas holiday season, with all its twinkling lights and carols, can sometimes bring unexpected confusion, stress, and even loneliness. If youâre wrestling with questions about Godâs plan or wondering why things donât seem to make sense, youâre not alone. The pressure to have a âperfectâ Christmas can leave us feeling adrift, unable to see the path forward.

In this devotional, Rob Westwood-Payne shares a powerful, heartfelt prayer designed to help you find real peace and clarity, even amidst the chaos. Drawing wisdom from Romans 11:33 (NLT), we explore how Godâs plans are often bigger than we can possibly understand, and how prayer connects us directly to his unending wisdom and love.
This isnât just about saying words; itâs about having an honest conversation with God and inviting his presence into your wonderfully chaotic life. Discover how to trust in his goodness, even when the way ahead feels unclear, and remember the profound hope of Christmas â a time when God brought light into our world in the most unexpected way.
In this video, youâll find:
- A compassionate reflection on feeling lost during the holidays.
- Insight into trusting Godâs wisdom when his plans are unsearchable.
- A guided, four-minute prayer for peace and clarity.
- Encouragement to rest in Godâs presence, knowing he is with you.
Let this prayer be a source of comfort and strength for you this Christmas season.
