Personal Prayer
Praise the God of Israel, who comes in glory to meet with his people. Thank God for coming to consume the darkness and to make what is purified radiate with his glory (Ezek. 43:1-5). Confess any wickedness that hinders the brightness of his presence. Commit to letting God’s glory shine upon you in worship. Ask God to shine through you to others.

For Your Family and Friends
Pray that those close to you will go into God’s presence in spirit and in the light of his truth.

For the Church
Pray that, as those at your church look at God’s glory, his brightness may be reflected in their faces. Ask God to change them from “glory to glory” (2 Cor. 3:18).

For the Kingdom
Pray that Jesus, the light of the world, will shine through his people and fill the land with the Father’s glory. Ask God to mirror his glory to the world through his people.

For People to Know Jesus
Pray that the Holy Spirit will cause the glory of God to blaze in you, setting your heart on fire for the lost. Ask that God will send forth his Word, bringing his light to lives swamped in darkness.
