Lent, day 23
Mar. 29th, 2014 09:11 pmI thought this prayer is quite lovely:
"O merciful gracious God, Father of eternal light and comfort, whose goodness and faithfulness are fresh again each morning, we give you praise, honor and thanks for the lovely daylight, and also for protecting us during the night and granting us gentle sleep and rest. May we now arise in your grace and love, and under your care and protection make gainful, joyful use of the daylight. Amen
EVERY GOOD GIFT AND EVERY PERFECT GIFT IS FROM ABOVE, AND COMETH DOWN FROM THE FATHER OF LIGHTS, WITH WHOM IS NO VARIABLENESS, NEITHER SHADOW OF TURNING.
James 1:17
