Today's Passage: John 1:1-5

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Today's Prayer: God, we love you and praise you. We acknowledge that we here today are numbered among those who have beheld your glory and experienced your goodness. We are included among those Isaiah spoke of when he said "The people walking in darkness have seen a great light on those living in the land of deep darkness. A light has dawned." Our world is dark. Full of shadows, doubts and hidden places. Yet in your love you refused to leave us stumbling alone. Instead you gave us yourself your word, The Logos, Jesus stepping into our darkness to bring light, clarity and truth. Today we honor you as our Logos, the eternal word who speaks life into our weary souls. You are the light that never fades. The Word that never stops speaking. So, Jesus, we ask you today. Shine your light into the hidden corners of our hearts, exposing what needs to be revealed and calling us into the abundant life you promised. Speak your words of truth in life over the lingering doubts, the unanswered questions, and the fears that lurk in the shadows of our minds. Illuminate our paths and lead us into your presence, where light and life abound forever. Amen. 

Amen.
