Amen.

8 November: May our lives be as candles ablaze in the darkness and our witness as a light for others to find their way home to you. Lift the covering of our light so we might shine and bear witness to the one true light. You enlighten all who seek you. This we ask in the name of Him who is light to the world. Amen.

This we ask through Yeshua who lives and reins with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God in glory everlasting. Amen. (white)

12 November: Our great Prince of Peace, we fall before you confessing that we often forget to practice peace. The warring world still waits for peace from the words of Yeshua. Give us the courage to face the might of force and claim the peace which surpasses all understanding. This we ask through our Lord and Saviour Yeshua haMoshiach, who lives and reins with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God in glory everlasting. Amen.

13 November: Let our eyes be opened to your wonderful peace and joy that we experience when we accept you as Lord and master of our lives. Keep our eyes and hearts ever focused on you, Lord. This we ask through our Lord and Saviour Yeshua haMoshiach, who lives and reins with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God in glory everlasting. Amen.
