From Darkness to Light | My Daily Prayer Journey for Renewal

As winter unfolds with its short days and long nights, it’s easy to feel a bit down or sluggish.

As winter unfolds with its short days and long nights, it’s easy to feel a bit down or sluggish. Let’s embrace this season as a time for inner renewal and spiritual refreshment. Join me in this warming prayer: "Gracious God, during these long winter days, renew our spirits and rekindle our joy. Help us to find beauty in the quiet and solitude, strength in the stillness, and hope in the lengthening days. May this season of cold be a time of warming our hearts in Your presence and preparing for the renewal that spring promises."
