Prayers for every day life
Lighting a candle
Lord,
may this candle be a light for you to enlighten me
in my difficulties and decisions.
May it be a fire for you to burn out of me all selfishness and sin.
My it be a flame for you to bring warmth into my heart
towards my family, neighbours and all who meet me.
I place in your care those I come now to remember, especailly……..
I cannot stay long here with you:
in leaving this candle I wish to give you something of myself.
Hlep me to continue my prayer
into everything I do this day.
Amen
