Morning prayer · 17 May
The fire you’ve lit
God, by the light of your word you scatter the darkness of not knowing. Make the power of the faith you’ve given us grow stronger in our hearts, so that no temptation can put out the fire your grace has lit. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
The unfolding of Your words gives light; it informs the simple.
