An ancient prayer from Gelasian Sacramentary for guidance, light, light.
O Lord, from Whom all good things do come; grant to us, Thy humble servants, that by Thy holy inspiration we may think those things that be good, and by Thy merciful guiding may perform the same, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
This prayer is for guidance, light, light. It gives the request old words: fewer tricks, more flame.
Lord, hear this ancient prayer for guidance, light, light. Give mercy, strength, and a heart made faithful before Thee. Amen.
This prayer comes from the ancient church’s habit of asking directly: for mercy, for holiness, for protection, for light. It does not perform spirituality. It reaches for God.
Use it as written, or let it become a frame for the person and need in front of you.
Lord, hear this prayer in me: guidance, light, light.
Lord, remember [Name]. Give them guidance, light, light.
Lord, grant us together guidance, light, light, and keep us faithful before Thee.
It is for guidance, light, light.
