Dear God,

Light, that radiant, glowing, warm, beautiful and comforting substance that heals, blesses, gives hope, calms and helps.  Early morning's first light is like a gentle surprise as it breaks into the darkness and opens a door revealing the beauty of a new day.

The first thought that comes to my mind when I think of light is hope.  Often great difficulties seem like really black darkness that sucks the life out of us.  When we go to bed, sometimes we carry the darkness with us.  If we hang on to it, it takes root in our soul and grows.  It threatens and abuses, leaving us in despair.

When the light comes, perspective can change.  It is like breathing in fresh air, bringing in hope and peace.  And we know that the light is not just a change in the darkness but rather your living presence appearing, offering to take the darkness with you.  If we release it, we feel that great sense of freedom, liberation from that which stole life from us.  Only then can we experience the healing miracle that light offers.

Blessed are you,

Mighty God,

for you

are power,

grace and love.

Thank you

for your light

that makes us new.

Thank you

for reminding us

you are

the light

of the world.

Love, Andrea
