When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12)
Dear Jesus, Source of all Light,
These children will find that there will be dark days, days with sadness, days with disappointment, days in which it feels as though the sky is falling in on them. But you promise that they will, in those days, have your light upon them, that they will never be truly in darkness, but that your light will show them the way through and your light will lighten their hearts.
May these children reflect your light in the darkness, both to show to the world how your light sustains them in times of trial, but also as they shed your light on others who are struggling in darkness. Give them courage to speak about your light as they seek to share that light with world around them.
Amen
