Sunshine of Your Presence

O God of Light, the weather all over our nation has been erratic and dismal - give us the light of your Presence to brigten our days!  We continue to pray for those in our nation who have been ravaged by snow and storms that have destroyed property, and taken lives.  Bless them with the awareness that even in the darkest days of our lives, your eternal light shines brighty on, and will lead us out of darkness into marvalous light!   And may it please you, O Lord, to reveal those ways that we can be used by you to bring relief to the stricken.  We pray in the name of Christ, our Lord.  Amen.
