God of Light,
The season is dark.
The world is struggling.
Your light can disperse the night, bringing hope and new life.
Calm my fears and settle my uncertainty.
Lift my burdens and my struggles.
Enfold me in your light, your love, your peace.
Help me to see you all around me.
Surprise me with your presence and your faithful love.
Heal me. Mend me. Use me as part of your light in this struggling world.
Amen.
