Tuesday's Prayer ~ Letting My Light Shine





praying silhoutte 1



My Dearest Heavenly Father,


You gave your Son Jesus as an example of how we should live as Christians on this earth. Jesus said in John 8:12, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."

As a representative of Your precious son, Jesus, I want to let my light shine so that unbelievers will see Your glory reflecting in me. Not only that, I want it to be evidence that you are the Most High and True Living God.


Teach me and show me ways that I can be a blessing to others. I do not want to be selfish and keep this light you instilled in me a secret. I want people to know how great and awesome You are. Most importantly, I want them to know that they can be part of a family where there is everlasting life and have a Father that loves you unconditionally despite of all the mistakes you made, your past, where came from, and who you are.

I pray this prayer in the mighty and holy name of Jesus. Amen.








 
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ~ Marianne Williamson
