Personal Prayer
Praise God, the one who is your “light” and your “salvation” (Ps. 27:1). Thank him for shining his saving light in your darkness. Confess times when you’ve preferred to live in the darkness of sinful actions and habits rather than in the light of Jesus. Commit yourself anew to living in his light. Ask God to surround you every day this week with his light and salvation.

For Your Family and Friends
Pray for opportunities to spread God’s light in the lives of any family member or friend who does not know Jesus as Savior and Lord. Ask God to touch their lives with the gospel.

For the Church
Intercede for the outreach ministries of your church and denomination. Pray that their financial needs will be met. Ask that they will clearly show forth the light of the good news through their ministries.

For the Kingdom
Pray for Christian ministries which bring healing light into some of our society’s darkest corners. Pray for those who work with the homeless, with substance abusers, with the poor, with persons in mental institutions, and others. Ask that the love of Jesus will soothe every hurting heart.

For People to Know Jesus
Pray by name for someone you know who has not yet committed his or her life to Christ. Ask God to reveal how you can be a spiritual help to that person.
