A prayer for light from God

In the darkness of your world Lord, I need your light. When I am worried about paying for my heating; the mortgage; the food I will feed myself and my family, I need your light. When I am feeling concerned about the health and well-being of family, friends and strangers, I need your light. In the hours I am in most need I seek you and find you in the food banks; the warm spaces; the cards, emails and telephone calls I receive; the smile and friendly greeting that is unexpectedly given as I go about my day. In those moments, Lord, I find the hidden treasure of hope, peace and love that helps me through another day. Amen.
