One-Minute Centering Exercise

Lent. Day 19

Scripture

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:5, NIV)

Prayer, Borrowed from John Baillie

O Light that never fades, as the light of day now streams through these windows and floods this room, so let me open to Thee the windows of my heart, that all my life may be filled by the radiance of Thy presence. Let no corner of my being be unillumined by the light of Thy countenance. Let there be nothing within me to darken the brightness of the day. Let the Spirit of Him whose life was the light of men rule within my heart till eventide. Amen.1
