Prayer for Wednesday

Mighty God, we thank You for sending Your light into all the world to reveal that You are the Father of all, to show us, Your children, that You are leading us and the world to Yourself, the good and the bad, those who are near to You and those who are far away. We thank You that through all this Your name may be acknowledged, honored and praised. We thank You that we may live from Your hands of plenty and that everyone may see Your work on earth and be filled with praise for all the blessings You give through grace. May the light which You have sent to earth in Jesus Christ shine brightly for us and penetrate our hearts so that we open ourselves to it with joy, and so that we may reflect that light to others in worship to our Savior. Bless us and give us Your abiding Holy Spirit; for without Your anointing Spirit we can do nothing. May we receive help from You each and every day. We ask all this in the name of our Intercessor, Jesus Christ!

Amen.
