Gracious God, sometimes the night is scary. Darkness hides things. We can’t always see a clear path. Fear enters our hearts and we shut down. Shine your light of love in our night. Brighten the space around our hearts so that we might find the wisdom and courage to open up beyond ourselves. Make us instruments of your light so that others might know of your love and care. Through the Light of Jesus Christ, Amen.
