O Lord,
In the stillness before the dawn,
when the house lies cloaked in darkness
and the only light is the gentle glow of the hearth,
my heart turns to You.
You alone are the warmth that stirs life within me,
the quiet flame that awakens prayer upon my lips.
Though my body is weary and illness lingers like a shadow,
I lift my mind to Your Name:
Jesus, my mercy, my peace, my strength.
The day stretches before me with its weight and unknown burdens,
yet I surrender them all into Your hands.
Let me bear each moment with humble trust,
accepting every trial as gift,
every joy as a sign of Your nearness.
Banish, O Lord, the spirit of despondency
that seeks to cloud the heart.
Let the joy of Your kingdom shine within me;
a quiet joy that no sorrow can quench.
May the light that burns upon this hearth
become the flame of faith within my soul,
until all that I am gives glory to You,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
