The day is yours

A heavy curtain of nighttime darkness being pulled back from a window by a single bright sunbeam, revealing a plain room inside, with the words “the day is yours” lettered by hand.

The day is yours, Lord, and the night is yours too. Let Christ, the sun who makes things right, stay in our hearts and drive away the darkness of evil thoughts. In his name. Amen.

The day is Yours, and also the night; You established the moon and the sun.

Psalm 74:16 (BSB)
