Sometimes a symbolic focus or action can be a springboard to prayer, a reminder of God's word, or a prompt to take time out to rest a while. Today, light a candle, settle quietly, and allow the candle's flame to encourage you in prayer.

Let the warmth of the flame remind you of your heavenly Father's love, for How great is the love the Father has lavished on us that we should be called children of God. (1Jn3:1)

Consider the light of the flame burning brightly and give praise that Jesus is light. He said, I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life. (Jn 8:12)

Delight in the energy of the flame burning as you give thanks for the Holy Spirit's enabling: They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. (Acts 2:3-4)

 

 

Then pray (any or all of):

speak from your heart

pour out your feelings

tell Jesus your worries

read out a psalm (eg Psalm 33)

say the Lord's Prayer

go for a walk in the garden

dance

draw

be still

listen

follow God's prompting

Rest from the troubles that burden us

Trust in God who is faithful

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. (2Cor13:14)

Amen
