Alive: Let there be light

God of radiance, source of all light:

Let there be light in my eyes,

so I can see the truth more clearly;

Let there be light in my mind,

so I can know Your goodness more closely;

Let there be light in my heart,

so I can love this world more fiercely;

Let there be light in my body,

so I can experience Your creation more fully;

Let there be light in my soul,

so I can follow Your path more freely;

Let there be light in my community,

so we can accept each other more openly;

Let there be light in the church,

so we can do Your will more obediently;

Let there be light in my country,

so we can live more peacefully;

Let there be light in the world,

so all can have life more abundantly.

In Jesus’ name, amen.
