Set Our Lives On A Sure Course

Everlasting God our Father, whose love the darkness cannot overcome and whose goodness the darkness cannot hide; set our lives on a sure course like stars in the night.  Unless you pour into our souls the oil of faith, our spiritts are but flickering lights blowing in the wind!  Let the light of your Son Jesus Christ shine on us so we can see the way you would have us follow.  Warm our hearts, inspire our spirits and strengthen our understanding that with new courage we may go forth as servants of the cross that redeems.  In Jesus' Name we pray.  Amen.
