Light Prayer

Grant me this:

Let me bring the light forth

into my day. Let it make a difference.

Let it do more

than light me up inside —

let it illumine

the treasures of the hearts of others.

Let them see themselves

as deeply, dearly seen

You who have shined the light in me,

I ask you to complete this —

it is your work to bring it forth

and mine to hold it up.
