God is Light

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. (Psalm 139:7-12 NIV)

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. (1 John 1:5 NIV)

Dear God,

My Light. Shine in my heart. Chase away any darkness in it. Lord, I lift to You my prospective relationships. I want to do it right this time. Protect me. If You do not will him for me, then Your will be done. Lead me to Your choice. Be my Light. Reveal to me truths. Give me wisdom.

I also pray for my meetings today. Put a seal on my tongue. Put a guard before my mouth. Not just for my meetings, but especially with my dealings with friends. Give me wisdom and give me kindness.

This I pray in Jesus' Name. Amen.

His Wonderful Light

The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— (John 1:9-12 NIV)

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. (1 Peter 2:9 NIV)

Dear Lord,

You have called me into Your wonderful Light. I will sing praises to You! You have chosen me. I am Your special possession. Lord God, You are my King and Father. Your Will be done.

He Shall Bring Forth Righteousness

He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, And your justice as the noonday. (Psalms 37:6 NKJV)

Dear Lord,

I've always thought that it's my duty, my job to fulfill my end of the relationship. But Lord, I can't do it myself. See? Just this morning, I slipped again. But Lord, know that I do want to be devoted to You, to find delight in You. I just can't do it on my own.

But You, Lord, said that it is You who will bring forth my righteousness. You will cause me to fulfill my end of the relationship. Lord, I surrender to You. Lead me. Change my heart. Cause me to find my delight inYou.
