I was away on retreat last week. The weather was glorious and surroundings beautiful. I was inspired to write this prayer as I observed the buttercups opening to the sun. You can replace the word ‘sun’ for ‘son’ if you feel comfortable praying to Jesus.

Let the sun warm you.

Let the sun enliven you.

Let the sun restore you.

Let the sun melt your coldness.

Let the sun lighten your darkness.

Let the sun rekindle hope.

Let the sun spark dreams back to life.

Let the sun shine on new possibilities.

Let the sun sparkle on the path of your new tomorrows.

Let the sun guide you, strengthen you and bless the days ahead.
