Morning prayer · 12 January

Pour in your light

A simple clay cup sitting open on a table, tipped slightly as if ready to receive, with a single pouring stream of light arcing into it from above the frame edge.

Lord, in your loving kindness, please pour your holy light into our souls, so that we’ll always be devoted to you. Your wisdom made us, and your care guides our lives. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.

Psalm 36:9 (BSB)
