Dear God,

I love to read stories of lighthouse keepers.  Intrigued by what they did to keep the light burning for ships in the night, particularly during stormy seasons, they teach us what it means to be a keeper of the light.

You have given each us a bit of your light, O Lord.  You have asked us to tend to the light, to let it shine for all to see.  Sometimes it is easy and joyful to radiate your light.  At others times it is difficult when we feel low, forgotten, or distressed.  Yet, still, you ask us to keep it going.  And in doing so we return so much more light to ourselves and to others.  Praise be to God!

O God,
Light of the World,
thank you
for blessing us
with your light.
Let your light glow,
let it radiate outward,
let it shine for always,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
