Holy God,
We wake up, and the whole earth just seems to groan in living pangs.
And I pull out the prayer candles and lite them all around this little house.
And I settle into my spot because I know we're gonna be here a while.
The darkness is heavy, pressing in on every side, on all corners of this earth of yours.
But your light, your light just dispels that darkness in one swift movement.
And I'm not so sure what's going on in the realm I cannot see, but I feel it, I feel it heavy today.
So God,
Guide us and bless us.
Teach us how to walk wisely on this earth of yours.
Teach us to say a loud "yes" to you and your ways,
and a strong "no" to the things that are not of you.
Teach us to walk in the light as you are in the light.
Let us be like little moths that do not rest until they have found the light.
Help us to be brave, to pray what you say without holding back.
Instill in us your ever abiding love and make our lives a prepared dwelling place for you.
We love you.
We delight in you.
We want to risk with you.
Lord, have mercy on us this day.
Amen.
