Father,

We appreciate this day in acceptance of life being ever aware of its preciousness. As we see, touch, taste and feel life, we are reminded to make the most of the moments we are given by you, out of your ever-flowing love for us. Let us be the love that we are, to eachother for all that is needed right now in our world. Let us be the light for eachother. “Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet. Declare to my people their rebellion and to the descendants of Jacob their sins.” (Isaiah 58:1) We are realizing there is a better way, and we are not accepting the treatment by those whose hearts dwell in darkness. Therefore we rise. By your hand, we unite and overcome the challenges being put before us, calling in your wisdom to guide us. “But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.” (James 3:17-18)

We will overcome the challenges of the day, unperturbed, because you love us. By your hand, and by your covenant, we will do away with the yoke of oppression, and spend ourselves on behalf of the hungry, and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then our light will rise in the darkness, and our night will become like the noonday. Guide us always and we will be like a well-watered garden, a spring whose waters never fail, so that “Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.” (Isaiah 58)

Lift us up Lord. Open our hearts and bring down the wicked. May we always be protected by your light. Bless our loved ones, may they be protected, and may we all be blessed with miraculous solutions, always in the protection of Your Light, Father, always.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen
