Daily Prayer

The people who sit in darkness have seen a great light. 
Jesus, you are the great light 
that shines on the people in darkness. 
You are the light that no darkness can overpower. 
You are the light of the world. 

When I feel darkness around me, 
let me see your light. 

When life is hard and I am tired, 
let me see your light. 

When the shocks of life keep coming, 
let me see your light. 

When others let me down, 
let me see your light. 

When daily annoyances start to make me angry, 
let me see your light. 

When bad news is everywhere and I start to lose hope, 
let me see your light. 

When I have sinned and hurt others, 
let me see your light. 

And with all I meet today, 
let me share your light. 

And for all who are in need today, 
let me be your light. 

Help me, Lord, to join myself to you, 
so that I may shine with your light 
today and every day. 
Amen.
