Lighten
Our darkness, we beseech Thee,
O Lord, and by Thy great goodness
deliver us from all the perils
and dangers of this life
So My Church prays and
My children pray . Yet they
so often fail to embrace
the conditions which would
provide light in the darkness
and deliverance from the
dangers of this life.
There is no darkness for
the faithfully committed
soul, only a walking with
Me in the dark places for
the salvation and enlightenment
of others and sometimes
for his own growth and maturity.
I am the Light of the world,
and whoever walks with Me
walks in light. The life
of the Eternal is his portion
and already he experiences
the joy of the blessed though
through a glass darkly.
So the lightening of the
darkness of a soul's existence
or of the world's experience
must be sought not supinely
but worked out persistently
and patiently. So will the
deliverance from the perils
and dangers follow in the
course of events. Where
a child of the Father ,
illumined by Our light sees
danger, he will carefully
avoid it. Yet he will not
totally avoid the challenging
of shades if he is guided
by Our Holy Spirit. In that
circumstance he will seek
Our protection and commit
himself and his commission
to our loving purpose, and
all will be well whatever
the earthly appearance.
I am the Light of the world.
He who walks with Me shall
not walk in darkness but
in the light of life eternal.
