August 31 Prayer

August 31 Prayer

All things will come to an end
The end of the day, the end of the week,
the end of a month and a season…
All things will come to an end
The end of fear and death
When he comes.

He comes to save us, and encourage us,
to be filled with light,
His light
For he calls us children of light.

Today we pray a blessing for hope and light
where there is darkness and hopelessness.

‘Would you O’ lord speak the word of life and
light into us this day?

Where we have been encircled with the shadow of fear and doubt, and desiccated in our souls,
let the good placed in us be nurtured and cared for.

May the light of your presence surround us.
May we say yes to the joy of being awakened
to the beauty of life you have given us.

Come, Lord Jesus with your
clarifying light and quicken in us
a new awareness of God
as our all in all.

We trust in your ways this day and believe
that you save us
and crush our enemies and everything that robs us of life.

We now offer this same prayer for those who have no hope or light,
Meet them and save them.

And may we surrender to the way you plan
to display your light through us today.

May we encourage and build up everyone we meet.

Christ in us
is the light of life.

“You will show me the way of life,
grant me the joy of your presence
and the pleasures of living with you forever.”
Ps.16:11

Amen
