Living with Christ Morning Prayer

Living with Christ Morning Prayer
January 26, 2014

The people who sit in darkness have seen a great light.

Jesus, you are the great light
that shines on the people in darkness.
You are the light that no darkness can overpower.
You are the light of the world.

When I feel darkness around me,
let me see your light.

When life is hard and I am tired,
let me see your light.

When the shocks of life keep coming,
let me see your light.

When others let me down,
let me see your light.

When daily annoyances start to make me angry,
let me see your light.

When bad news is everywhere and I start to lose hope,
let me see your light.

When I have sinned and hurt others,
let me see your light.

And with all I meet today,
let me share your light.

And for all who are in need today,
let me be your light.

Help me, Lord, to join myself to you,
so that I may shine with your light
today and every day.
Amen.

Prayer for Today

Lord Jesus, I give you my hands to do your work. I give you my feet to go your way. I give you my eyes to see as you do. I give you my tongue to speak your words. I give you my mind that you may think in me. I give you my spirit that you may pray in me. Above all, I give you my heart that you may love in me all that you created. I give you my whole self that you may grow in me, so that it is you, Lord Jesus, who live and work and pray in me.
Amen.
