Holy God,
You turn darkness into light.
In the beginning, when there was nothing but watery chaos, you spoke, and you brought order into being. You created all there is, and you set the sun and the moon in the sky. To this day, we bask in the sun's light, and you continue to transform the darkness. When the Israelites were trapped between the sea and the Egyptian army, you made a way where there was no way, and you brought them through the waters and into life.
In the beginning, you turn darkness into light.
On the cross, where sin and death reigned, you turned death into life. In the tomb, where darkness and despair held tight, you brought life. When hope reached a dead end, you transformed the way things are and made a way through the valley of the shadow of death. From death, to life.
From darkness, to light.
From sin, to hope.
You have created, and you continue to be at work in the world, creating, transforming and renewing. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for your life and light. Create in me a clean heart, that I may no longer cling to sin, and help me know your light and life.
Amen
