Today’s Reflection: Heavenly father, I am your humble servant,
I come before you today in need of hope.
I need hope for a calm and joyful future.
I need hope for love and kindness.
I pray for peace and safety.

Some say that the sky is at its darkest just before the light.
I pray that this is true, for today seems
stormy and dim.
I need your light, Lord, in every way.
I pray to be filled with your light. Help me to walk
in your light, and live my life in faith and service.
In your name I pray, Amen. — A Prayer for Hope and Peace, author unknown
