Pray for Families (Luminaries of Light)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

Many worry about family members who have little or no faith.  Words can be very ineffective and may do very little to convert another’s heart.  However, experiencing the love of Christ, the Word made flesh, may make all the difference.  Can your family, friends, or others see Christ’s light in you?  Do they experience gentleness and love?  Compassion and caring?  Patience and forgiveness?

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be. What came to be through him was life, and this life was the light of the human race; the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. John 1:1-4

To those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name, who were born not by natural generation nor by human choice nor by a man’s decision but of God. John 1:12-13

If we say, “We have fellowship with him,” while we continue to walk in darkness, we lie and do not act in truth. But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of his Son Jesus cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:6-7

Take care, then, that the light in you not become darkness. If your whole body is full of light, and no part of it is in darkness, then it will be as full of light as a lamp illuminating you with its brightness.” Luke 11:35-36

Pray that you may resist sin and embrace being a child of the Light!

For God who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to bring to light the knowledge of the glory of God on the face of [Jesus] Christ.  2 Corinthians 4:6

No longer shall the sun be your light by day, Nor shall the brightness of the moon give you light by night; Rather, the LORD will be your light forever, your God will be your glory.  Isaiah 60:19

Be a child of Light!   We are called to be His light in the world and oh how this world needs the darkness dispelled!  Pray for the conversion of family members, your community, and the world!

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet

Be a luminary of Light by being the torch of love in your family!  Send the sparks flying by passing it on!
