Light of the World

RECITE GOD’S GOODNESS:

O Great Light of the World, I praise You for not just speaking light into the darkness, but actually stepping into the darkness as the true light that gives life to everyone. Even death could not snuff out the light of life. You rose victorious, forever exalted—the Light of the world, my own light and salvation.

EXPRESS YOUR NEEDINESS:

Shine Your light into my soul, illuminating the darkness and revealing what I’m hiding even from myself. I open my heart, my relationships, and my ambitions; search me, Lord. Let your light penetrate and convict my heart that I may confess my sin and walk in Your light.

SEEK HIS STILLNESS:

Picture yourself walking into the light of God’s presence. You are fully seen and fully known . . . and fully loved.

TRUST HIS FAITHFULNESS:

God, I trust You with the darkness surrounding us today: Your light will overcome the darkness no matter how pervasive and invasive it seems. You’ve sent us as lights into the world, and the darkness of death and despair has no claim on us because You are the Light, and we are people of the Light, so we can trust You.
