Walk in the Light

Matthew 5:14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Lord, we thank You for the people You place in our lives—those who guide us with wisdom, steady us in confusion, and reflect Your grace when our own vision grows dim. Through them, we see Your faithfulness at work, reminding us that we never walk alone. May our hearts remain grateful for the mentors, friends, and brothers and sisters in Christ who lovingly point us toward Your truth.

Keep us mindful, Father, that You have not called us to be human “wrecking balls,” tearing down others with judgment or harshness. You have not sent us into the world to “set everyone straight,” nor appointed us as heavenly oracles tasked with correcting every soul we encounter. Only Your Spirit can convict the sinner, transform the heart, and draw the lost out of darkness into Your marvelous light. Teach us to trust the work of Your Spirit more than the impulses of our own opinions.

Lord, shape us into true disciples—living testimonies whose lives are holy, humble, and acceptable to You. May our words carry grace, our actions reveal compassion, and our presence reflect Christ. Keep us from forcing our way into others’ lives, but help us shine with the quiet, steady light and love of Jesus—guiding those around us through example and compassion. Lord, please let it be so. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
