God of light,
Show me your light in the long nights.
Help me to see your love in the midst of sorrow and hate.
Reveal your forgiveness and justice in the face of blame and retribution.
Help me to see where compassion and healing are most needed.
Make me your light in the world.
Empower me to reach out with love and compassion to the stranger, the broken, the sorrowful and the foreigner in my life.
Fill me with light and help me care for your world.
Amen.
