Lord Jesus,
every day we ask you for bread, our daily bread,
but every day we must also ask you for faith,
day-to-day faith, step by step along our journey.
You say, ‘If you believe, you will see.’
You know our blindness; give us the eyes of faith
that enable us to walk as though we could see the unseen.
Lord, it is not just about us.
It is about this world hurtling blindly along in a mad race
that crushes the stars.
This light buried deep within the hearts of your children,
do not let it be extinguished in them, in us,
this light of hope
that believes and sees – beyond.
This is our prayer this evening, and it gives you thanks.
