A Prayer about Seeing the Light
Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. Isaiah 60:1
Glorious God,
Though the twelfth day of Christmas
has come and gone,
the defrocked trees lie
dried and withered by the curb,
may we see the glory of Christ-with-us,
the good news that our light has come,
today and every day of this year.
Peel the scales from our eyes,
so we may see the light
that has overcome the thick darkness,
your grace, and your glory,
your mercy and your kindness to us
in Christ.
Indeed, may all “nations come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your rising” (Isaiah 60:3).
Open our eyes to see the great ingathering
of your people,
“the sons …come from afar…
the daughters carried on the hip…” (Isaiah 60:4).
Radiate our hearts with this good news
today and every day.
In Jesus’ glorious name. Amen.
Read Isaiah 60:1-5.
