A Prayer for Friday, March 4, 2011

“You Are the Light of the World”

Lord, form us into reflectors of light; may the light that people see in us come from you so that it will be good and true light that will lead people in the way you would have them go.

Lord, form us into deflectors of light; may the light that people see in us, which comes from you anyway, be deflected so that it will shine clearly on you that they might come to know your light in their own lives.

Lord, form us into people who at the same time do not hide the light nor try to hoard the light.

Amen.

“You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:14-16).
