When you are tired and worn,

when you are tending a broken-heart,

when you are wondering what next and from where your energy stores will come,

may you remember you are not alone.

We proclaim Emmanuel, Emmanuel, God with us.

May you feel the embrace of God, who never gives up on us and leads us forward into a new day.

Rev. Ellie Johns-Kelley serves as Ministry Relations Officer for the Northeast Region.
