PRAYER OF JOY
Through the atoning death of Christ our Savior, the light of the gospel of his glory has shone into our sin-darkened hearts and brought us into the glorious dawn of salvation. Our hearts resound and rejoice that we are now joined to Christ and nothing can separate us from our love in him.

John 12:44–46

 

And Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. And whoever sees me sees him who sent me. I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.
