Prayer for Light in Darkness

Beautiful Jesus

Who is steady and constant and firm
Solid and living, comforting yet powerful

Lord, let us be overtaken by You, by your Light
That we may be so transformed into the likeness of Your Spirit whose very essence is life
That our sole desire would be to fight

For connection
For justice
For the un-silencing of voices

Father, let us be so filled with You, with your Light
That love would wander into every crevice of brokenness
That has shattered the hope of the ones forgotten
That the darkness would have no choice but to surrender into the shadows of shalom
And, that we would know the all-consuming surrender of reverence
Of admiration for the beauty of Your image in each and every person we meet
So that we, in turn, would reflect back Your Light

This Light of hope
And joy
And redemption

This Light of forgiveness
And truth
That we would become reflections of You
That we would become lights in the dark

Amen.
