Dear God,

I cannot help but think of the light that continues to shine.  As my friend and I made our way to the retreat cabin in southern Indiana I remembered the Christmas lights inside and out of the secluded cabin.  Seemingly hundreds of tiny white lights glow.  Over and over again I was reminded of the light of your son who said, "I am the light of the world."  

Later as Cindy and I watched a Christmas movie, I received a text from a member of my covenant group who said her granddaughter was in the hospital after being in a car accident and her daughter in law was in her home with suicide ideations with a plan.  All I could do was pray that the same light was around them burning bright to heal, love and help.

Light up 

the whole world,

O God.

There is pain

and suffering everywhere.

Turn on

your light

wherever there

is darkness.

Lead us

to the light,

I pray. 

Love, Andrea
