Bringing God’s Light Through Prayer


PM#0483

John 1:4-5, John 13:35. II Chronicles 7:14

Many of us face situations when we address problems, there is a response of arrogancy. In such a response, we might even see attacks on us. 

When arrogancy is seen, darkness is present.  Our natural tendency is to attack!  How then shall we pray? We need help to stand up in a way that will bring the light of Christ into the situation.  Light dispels darkness.  (John 1:5)  Christ is the light of men (John 1:4).  Further, Christ said that Men would know we are His disciples because of Love for each other (John 13:35), that love reflects the light of God.  So—our prayers should reflect the light of Christ, and ask that the Light of Christ come into our situation.   Learning to pray and inviting God’s involvement and our humbling ourselves (II chronicles 7:14) invites God’s Holy Spirit to work on our behalf and bring light.

Consider this prayer:  Father, I ask you to move in my organization bringing your light.  May Your Love work in a way that shows the truth and expels darkness, and moves men’s hearts turn their eyes on you turn in humility from their own ways and be true to You.  In Jesus’ Holy Name, Amen.
