Real Dudes,
Have you been missing the sun lately? Hope the prayer and hymns below bring some much needed light to your day.
Enjoy,
Nate

Prayer: “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands… The sun rises at one end of the heavens; nothing is deprived of its warmth. The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul” (paraphrased from Psalm 19). Lord, bathe me every morning in the sunlight of your Word. Let it shine brightly on my sins, but not to my despair. Warm my soul with grace. Direct my steps with truth. Fill my words with gentleness. Guide my eyes towards the works you’ve prepared just for me. Strengthen my heart with courage. As the earth feels the warmth of the sun, let me feel your love. As the earth feels the warmth of the sun, let others feel your love from me. Thank you that I, like the sun, could rise with you this morning. Link
 
Hymn: There is Sunshine in my soul Today
There is sunshine in my soul today,
  More glorious and bright
Than glows in any earthly sky,
  For Jesus is my light.

    O there's sunshine, blessed sunshine,
    While the peaceful, happy moments roll;
    When Jesus shows His smiling face
      There is sunshine in my soul.

There is music in my soul today,
  A carol to my King;
And Jesus, listening, can hear
  The song I cannot sing.

There is springtime in my soul today,
  For when the Lord is near
The dove of peace sings in my heart,
  The flowers of grace appear.

There is gladness in my soul today,
  And hope, and praise, and love,
For blessings which He gives me now,
  For joys laid up above.

Heavenly Sunshine by H. J. Zelley
Walking in sunlight all of my journey
Over the mountains, through the deep vale;
Jesus has said, “I’ll never forsake thee,”
Promise divine that never can fail.
Refrain:
Heavenly sunlight, Heavenly sunlight,
Flooding my soul with glory divine;
Hallelujah! I am rejoicing,
Singing His praises, Jesus is mine.
Shadows around me, shadows above me,
Never conceal my Savior and Guide;
He is the light, in Him is no darkness;
Ever I’m walking close to His side.
In the bright sunlight, ever rejoicing,
Pressing my way to mansions above;
Singing His praises, gladly I’m walking,
Walking in sunlight, sunlight of love.
