Father,

Grant us this day, the peace and balance we need to continue on our journey. We know that our struggle to lift ourselves up and shine is the right thing to do, as much as we can, as often as we can manage. “There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord.” (Proverbs 21:30) To keep faith in knowing that if we stay steady and on-point, that our efforts are contributing to a massive effort that is effecting change in our world. Our mission is to outshine the darkness in every opportunity that presents itself. May we pull from your everlasting wellspring of Love every time we are tested. May we know the right thing to do when there is no indicator, no clues, no direction and no light coming in, and may we have the courage to do it. May we resist all pitfalls and rise above every challenging circumstance. “In the paths of the wicked lie thorns and snares, but he who guards his soul stays far from them.” (Proverbs 22:5)

You’ve given us an amazing gift. A piece of you, our beautiful Soul. We will take care of it. We will feed it and nurture it. We will keep it protected and clean it by letting go of heavy thoughts and emotions. It is our brightest asset and we will shine it outward as much as possible. The world needs us to shine authentically. The world needs our sincere contributions of love for humanity and we will give in earnest as if we were a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts.

Bless us and bless our world today, Father, may the love that you are burn brightly inside each of us, until we truly know that we are all family, because of spark of You that we carry inside. May we always be mindful of it as we shine as brightly as we possibly can.

In loving service,

In Jesus name,

Amen.
