Dear Lord Jesus,

You are my Morning Star, I love the light You bring into my life.

Your love is boundless.

Your example is perfect.

Your strength is mighty.

You lift me up when I stumble and when I am low, I look to You...

Unto You I lift up my eyes,
O You who dwell in the heavens.
Psalms 123:1

You embrace me with the warmth and the comfort of Your near presence.

You comfort me when my path is difficult and you lead me when my way seems dark.

You carry me when I am weak, when I struggle to take another step, and to breathe another breath.

You are the light of my life...

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness,
but have the light of life.”
John 8:12

I thank You from the depths of my heart, from the center of my being.

You give me breath and life, 

and I am grateful.

I pray this in the holy name of Jesus,

Amen.

Jesus: Morning Star

Because of that experience, we have even greater confidence in the message proclaimed by the prophets. You must pay close attention to what they wrote, for their words are like a lamp shining in a dark place—until the Day dawns, and Christ the Morning Star shines in your hearts.

2 Peter 1:19

Jesus is the Morning Star. Just as the morning star is first seen after the night is ending, so Jesus was first seen after the long, dark night between the Old Testament and the New Testament. Jesus is the Light of the world, who brought salvation to all. When the dark night is filled with fear and discouragement, people lose their way in the dark; they stumble and fall. But the Morning Star gives them optimism and hope. When hurting people see the first star of the morning, they fight their way through pain, because of the promise of a new day. Jesus is the Morning Star who promises new opportunities for you this coming day.

Jesus, You are my Morning Star of promise. I will not look back on the darkness of my failure. I will not give up in the darkness of despair. I know that help is coming; I will hang on.

Jesus is your Morning Star who announces that the pain of the night is over. He comes to help you overcome your hurts and forget your defeats. He can forgive the sin of all your failure. He is the Morning Star who introduces a new future. He can give you strength to be victorious in the day of new challenges.

Jesus, when I see You shining, I know that the night is almost over. I feel optimism from Your presence. Guide me, Morning Star, to a 

better day. 

Amen.
