The Morning Prayer
Friday, November 3, 2023

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
1 John 1:5 (NIV)

Heavenly Father, Creator of all that is seen and unseen, we wake to the promise of a new day, reflecting on Your Word in 1 John 1:5, which declares, "God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all."

Lord, as the dawn breaks and chases away the night, we are reminded of Your pure and radiant light that casts away all darkness. Fill our hearts and minds with this light, driving away any shadows of doubt, fear, and despair.

May Your divine light illuminate the path we tread today, guiding our steps, our thoughts, and our actions. Let us shine Your light in every interaction, embodying love, compassion, and righteousness, so that others might see and be drawn to You.

Keep us away from the temptations that lurk in the shadows, and help us to discern truth from falsehood. As we face the challenges of the day, grant us the wisdom to choose light over darkness, love over hatred, and truth over deceit.

Let the knowledge that You are ever-present, shining brightly within and around us, serve as a beacon of hope and a source of strength.

And as the day unfolds, help us to remain connected to Your light, so that we may be reflections of Your grace and mercy in a world that so desperately needs it.

In the holy name of Jesus Christ, the Light of the World, we pray, Amen.

I hope this prayer resonates with you and offers some inspiration for your morning.
