Hymn When Morning Gilds the Skies #339
Scripture Lessons: Ephesians 4:25-5:2
Psalm 130 p.853VU
John 6:35, 41-51
Message
Prayer: God of the darkness, we are afraid. There are dangers and memories that hurt us and harm us. We are scared of the dark.
God of the night, we are restless. There are snares and distractions that lure us and trap us. We are wary of the night.
God of the shadows, we are uncertain. There are questions and risks in believing your promise. We are uneasy in the shadows.
Come, God of the night, come in the sun that is rising, shine in the darkness and scatter the shadows. Come warm us with love and with light.
