Prayer, day 2154


Come, Light of God,
and let your wisdom pour forth
like a balm over us
as we lift our hearts to You
in praise and gratitude! 
Spring up, O Dayspring of Life,
and fill us with your grace and mercy,
that we may walk in the pathways of peace.
Establish within us a thirst for justice and discipleship,
that we may serve You and each other with joy. 

Blessed Redeemer,
may our prayers rise to you like incense,
as we remember all those in trouble or anxiety. 
Give your holy angels charge over those
who watch, weep, or worry,
and shelter those who are in danger. 

Bring us to a deeper love of You, O God,
and a deeper compassion and care of each other
and your creation. 
Merciful One,
rest your hand upon these beloveds for whom we pray.

Amen.
