Each Morning Brings Us (WOV 800)
Devotion
Each morning brings us fresh outpoured
the lovingkindness of the Lord.
It ends not as the day goes past,
but gives us strength while life shall last.
O God, the star of dawning day,
give us that light for which we pray.
Your holy flame within us glow,
that we no lack of grace may know.
Walk with us in the light of day,
that we may ever, come what may,
in hope endure, in faith be strong;
abide in us our whole life long.
This hymn both recognizes the newness of each day with God and asks for God's abiding presence no matter what one may encounter. While we can be active in living out our faith and work to keep our faith strong and rooted, what is ultimately most important is God's light, joy, Spirit, peace and presence as we've reflected on throughout this week. We need God to walk with us along the way, for strength, for guidance, for hope.
Prayer
Holy one, stay always by our side, leading us with your light, guiding us with your Spirit. Amen.
