Day 8 - March 13, 2014

God of our life,

there are days when the burdens we carry

chafe our shoulders and weigh us down;

when the road seems dreary and endless,

the skies gray and threatening;

when our lives have no music in them,

and our hearts are lonely,

and our souls  have lost their courage.

Flood the path with light,

run our eyes to where

the skies are full of promise;

tune our hearts to brave music;

give us the sense of comradeship

with heroes and saints of every age;

and so quicken our spirits

that we may be able to encourage

the souls of all who journey with us

on the road of life, to your honor and glory.        

                                                              Saint Augustine

And a special thanks to Michael Swaby-Rowe who rose to the challenge and rewrote the prayer from day FIVE.

God-

Help me to walk in your glorious light

So I can be seen by everyone – believers or not-

As an example of your love as you taught us to love,

Through your son Jesus Christ.

Help me to walk the walk

As I  talk the talk,

Giving you ALL the praise.
