Trying something different

alpharaposaChurch was a bit disappointing today. As I said on Twitter, it's usually a bad sign when the pastor says he was going to preach one message, but decided to be topical instead.
I'm really down today. When I stop to think about Christmas coming up, I feel teary. Since we're low on funds, I thought about writing some poetry to gift to relatives, but my heart isn't in it today. So, I decided to write prayer instead.
A winter collect:
Loving Father, who sent your Son to save the world,
Grant strength and comfort to those of us who falter in winter, that we may continue to show love to those around us with Your light in our hearts;
Through Jesus Christ, Wonderful Counselor, and the Holy Spirit, our Helper, who with You reign over all the world and the powers within it. Amen.
Better than the first time I ever tried to write a collect, and heartfelt in my present state.
