By George Rawson

And when you do not cry to the Lord, let your hearts be full, drawn out in prayer to him continually for your welfare, and also for the welfare of those who are around you.

“We Limit Not the Truth of God,” Community of Christ Sings 69

We limit not the truth of God to our poor reach of mind
by notions of our day and sect, crude, partial, and confined.
No, let a new and better hope withing our hearts be stirred.
The Lord hath yet more light and truth to break forth from his word.

Who dares to bind to their dull sense the oracles of heav’n
for all the nations, tongues, and climes, and all the ages given?
That universe, how much unknown! That ocean unexplored!
The Lord hath yet more light and truth to break forth from his word.

O Father, Son, and Spirit, send us increase from above;
enlarge, expand all Christian souls to comprehend thy love,
and make us all go on to know, with nobler pow’rs conferred,
The Lord hath yet more light and truth to break forth from his word.

Prayer Phrase

“I am the light of the world” (John 8:12).

Spiritual Practice

Light

Close your eyes and become centered with your breath. As you breathe gently in and out, reflect on the statement, “The light of God is in all things.” The light has a bright, soft beauty and radiates God’s healing love. The light of God reaches you and permeates you with a deep sense of peace. Rest in the light as it surrounds and fills you. Thank God that you live in God’s light, and it lives in you.
