The Bishop Ellis prayer for Madeleine
John 1:5 - A light that shines in the dark, a light that darkness could not overpower.
Loving, ever-living and compassionate God, comfort Madeleine in her distress at being separated from her family May your Holy Spirit protect her.
You know the pain and heartache of Madeleine's family, May we hold in our hearts Madeleine's parents and all their family and friends.
You are a light that shines in the darkest times, Guide all who are searching for Madeleine.
You comfort us in times of fear, May we be of comfort to them, in this time of great distress.
You console and lead us in times of doubt and confusion, Be our guiding light of love, and sustain hope for Madeleine's safe return.
You move our hearts to prayer, May we be led to pray for the family in their time of need.
God of life, show us the signs of your light in the midst of this darkness as we pray for Madeleine's safe return to her family Through Jesus Christ our Lord
Amen.
