Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world (James 1:27) ESV.

Father, my desire is to keep my heart pure and undefiled in my words and deeds. While praying for those who are in affliction or in distressing situation, lead me to be your hand to feed the poor and heart to love the weak and troubled. Let my faith and action reveal the Gospel of Jesus Christ during this festive season.  In Jesus' name I pray.
