UNISON PRAYER - AUGUST 10/11
Unison Prayer Logo
God of light, we live in the darkness of despair: worried about our lives, concerned for our health, fearful that in our darkness we are lost from you. The yoke of our burdens lie heavy upon us: our unwillingness to forgive, our fears of one another, our reluctance to share what we have, our divisions and quarrels. We long to turn from the dark to live in the light. We yearn to leave what is evil and follow the paths of righteousness. Shine the light of your love upon us and transform us with your love, that your promised realm may draw near. Amen.
