A prayer by David Adam

"Lord you are in this place, 

Fill us with your power, 

Cover us with your peace, 

Show us your presence.

Lord help us to know, 

We are in your hands, 

We are under your protection, 

We are covered by your love.

Lord we ask you, today, 

To deliver us from evil, 

To guide us in our travels, 

To defend us from all harm.

Lord give us now,

Eyes to see the invisible, 

Ears to hear your call, 

Hands to do your work, 

And hearts to respond to your love."

(David Adam, 'Border Lands')

A Celtic prayer of light

As the sun rises, Lord,
Let your Light shine on me :
Destroy the darkness about me,
Scatter the darkness before me,
Disperse the darkness behind me,
Dispel the darkness within me;
Let your Light shine on me.
As the sun rises, Lord,
Let your Light shine on me :
The warmth of your Presence,
The brightness of your Love,
The radiance of your Joy,
The shining of your Hope;
Let your Light shine on me.
As the sun rises, Lord,
Let your Light shine on me :
Your Light to guide,
Your Light to lead,
Your Light to direct,
Your Light to brighten;
Let your Light shine on me.
O Lord Jesus, You said :
“I am the Light of the World”,
Amen. Be it so ! Amen.

A prayer by David Adam

"Enfold us Lord in your love, surround us with your peace, encircle us with your power, enable us to be what you would have us be; Empower us to do what you would have us do; As you Lord are generous to us, may we be generous to others; As you forgive us, may we learn to forgive others; Lord, you give us life, you give us love, you give us yourself, so may we give our lives, our love, ourselves to You; Help us to choose the way of life and to lead others to Him, our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the way, the truth and the life." – David Adam
