The people walking in darkness have seen a great light;

  The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned. You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest.

Help me walk in the light of Jesus, who came as light in the darkness to free us from spiritual oppression, to remind us when things seem hopeless that you are at work and we can trust you because you will bring victory, hope and comfort to those who love and trust in you, I pray in Jesus name. Amen
