...to give light to those

   who sit in darkness

   and in the shadow of death,

to guide our feet

           into the way of peace.

                 Luke 1. 79

(Even in the scary places,

even in the most uncomfortable,

even when we have no idea

      what to do or what to say,

bring the name of Jesus there

                       faithfully.

We need not be afraid.

God's love and His Word

               prevail.

We have no idea

   what others are going through

   or with what they struggle,

but we can surprise them

       by the love of Jesus

       through our words and deeds

  and even our attitudes.)

O LORD,

Use us today

   in ways we cannot even imagine

               to point others to You.

Fill us with Your love and grace

   and show us how

   to bring Your name here.
