Greeting the day with the love that we are, Father, with a mindset that is focused and clear. During this change of dark to light, we must stay tough and strong as we are taught in Ephesians, “take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.” This way we will not allow the things we are dealing with to pierce our hearts, while always distinguishing what is our own pain and what is the pain of others. Let us be mindful, that we are not taking on burdens that are not ours to carry. This is the surest way to walk our path today with ease and grace.

We know that by connecting to you, Father, and staying open to limitless possibilities, that we can surprise ourselves, and exceed all expectations. When we keep these things foremost in our minds, we can be unstoppable, and that allows us to go about our work with a light-hearted joy. To be able to bring in the Light and carry it into all aspects of our day, moving through our day with the ease and dexterity of the most skillful warrior. We know you want us to have fun with things, Father, and not suffer by being overly burdened. “The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.” (Romans)

Bless us this day and all our loved ones, may they be protected and nourished by your grace, Father. Bless our Teams and Tribes, may they be swift of service and fleet of foot. Bless our Leaders of Light, Father, may they have everything they need and be protected and strengthened in every moment. Let us be the light that shines into all the corners of darkness that makes evil scatter to be blown away in the winds of change. Long may the Light reign.

Let it be so,

God is Victory,

Amen.
