Father,

As our ever increasing brighter light shines, we are able to see things for the first time. We realize they’ve always been there, they’ve just been happening in the shadows. This can be unsettling, Father. But this is what comes with the territory of brighter light on the planet. The light of knowledge and understanding. The Light of truth uncovering what was hidden in our past. In order to rise into our roles as stewards of this Earth, we need to know the truth of things and the light has come to show us that. Give us the strength to bear the realization that things have been vastly different than we thought, but help us work through our feelings to stay grounded and focused in the now moment , ready for what’s next. “There is no one holy like the LORD; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.” (1 Samuel 2:2)

Father, we are so grateful to be here during this time right now, awake and aware with our eyes wide open. Thank you for this opportunity to experience all the new facets of life. It may not always be what we expected, but it certainly is what we’ve been needing in order to launch us forward. “If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.” (1John 1:6-7)

We stand firmly in the strength of our faith as we open up to an illuminated world. Give us the patience to study and learn and understand instead of anger and blame and frustration. Help us to rise above our past and claim our brighter future. It starts with us and it starts with choosing to be greater than the sum of older parts. To re-create ourselves in this new light as better people living our best life. Help us heal the pain of our past to claim our brightest destiny and ground it into the here and now, for the greater good of all.

In truth,

In loving service,

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
