SHARE
YOUR LIGHT
You are
the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. In the same
way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and
glorify your Father in heaven.
Matthew
5: 14, 16 NIV
Dear Heavenly Father,
We
praise You because You are the Light that dwells in our hearts. We worship You,
Jesus, because You are the light that shines in darkness and causes it to flee.
Thank You, Living Word of God, for being a lamp unto our feet and a light unto
our path.
Jesus,
today we pray that we will not place a basket over the light that You placed in
us, but purposefully share Your light with others. In Your Name, Jesus, I
declare a new boldness, a revived illumination and a re-commitment to loving
others as You love us.
Holy
Spirit, guide us to those who are in a dark
place so that we may share
Your loving light. As we walk through hallways, administration buildings,
fields, courts, playgrounds and campuses, recall to our minds the importance of
expressing the joy of the Lord with others. Remind us to speak encouraging
words to the down trodden in heart and prepare us to be ready to serve others.
In that way Lord, according to Your word, we will be shining Your light to the
world before men, that they may see our good deeds and Your love within us and
praise the Lord who is in heaven above.
In the
Name of the One who is the Light of the World, Jesus the Christ,
Amen
