PRAYER OF HOPE
In creation, you brought your light into the darkness when you did not have to, being complete and perfect in yourself and your glory. We marvel that you created us to share in your eternal light.

 

 

SCRIPTURE READING
James 1:17–18

 

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
