Lenten Season – Day 15 – Very Rev. Prof. Konyinsola Ajayi, SAN
*March 19 – Day 15 – Prayer For Light & Protection*
On this third Wednesday in Lent, I invoke Your Holy Name *Elohim Gibor, God the Strong One*, Father of Lights, and pray that You grant me my prayer to be – from Christ, the Greater Light – a point of Light within Your mind. Father, let that Light flow forth from me to others around me so they may be enlightened about the Way to live.
Father, Most High, Unchanging yet forever changing things for the good of man and humanity, let that Light descend on me to confound all who cast darkness over me; and by this light let me see, cherish and hallow this pinnacle of grace placed on me as an elect of Christ.
O Radiant Source of Eternal Light, illuminate my path with wisdom and grace; let Your golden rays dissolve all shadows or clouds of ill or dark forces around me, by Your light, grant that I may walk in truth, be valiant, and righteous all my days.
Lord God, the depths of my soul, I call upon You, this day, to fill my heart with the fire of divine clarity; banish fear, doubt, and despair from my life; and replace them with peace, strength, and knowledge of You – God our Father and of Your Son, Jesus Christ.
Father, Most Holy, Immaculate beyond what mortal eyes can see, grant that Your sacred light shines through me as a beacon for those lost in life’s journey – especially to decadent nightlife. Guide me to my highest purpose, and let my spirit soar in harmony with all you have ordained from the beginning through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

In the glow of His Majesty, our path is made clear,
As the shadows that linger dissolve in His cheer.
With hearts ignited by divine light above,
We stand in His presence, enveloped in love.
Let us embody that radiant fire,
A beacon of hope, to inspire and inspire.
Guided by grace, unfaltering and bright,
We share in His glory, dispelling the night.
So cling to His promise, for in Him we find,
The strength to endure and the joy intertwined.
Together we journey through trials and fears,
With Christ as our lantern, illuminating our years.
*_May you continue to walk in His light and embrace His unfailing protection, in Jesus’ Name._*
*You are wonderfully blessed, indeed.*
