MORNING PRAYER
Often, we want to be able to see into the future. We
say, “How will next year be for me? Where will I be five or ten years from
now?” There are no answers to these questions. Mostly we have just enough light
to see the next step: what we have to do in the coming hour or the following day. The art of living is
to enjoy what we can see and not complain about what remains in the dark. When
we are able to take the next step with the trust that we will have enough light
for the step that follows, we can walk through life with joy and be surprised
at how far we go. Let’s rejoice in the little light we carry and not ask for
the great beam that would take all shadows away.
God our
Father,
There are many difficulties
and challenges in life,
and we see or experience
more of them each day we live.
Give us the power of your
Holy Spirit
that we may have courage and determination,
and may live in such a way that we encourage one
another.
Enable us to transform
whatever is negative,
and remain positive in attitude throughout our
lives.
Lighten our darkness and
keep us safe.
Amen
