Shared Prayer

Father Your Word calls us to arise and shine, because Your light has come and Your glory is risen upon Your people. When minds feel clouded, when hearts feel tired, when some are carrying family burdens or mourning loss, lift our faces back to You and drive out the shame that keeps us silent. Set courage in us to stand up in obedience, to speak truth, to worship, and to walk as children of light. Let darkness not rule our thoughts or choices, for the Lord our God is with us in every place You send us. We trust You to keep lighting our path, and we confess, great is thy faithfulness, even when our strength is small. Thank You for Your presence, Your grace, and Your glory that rises over us. For it is in Jesus name we pray. Amen.
