Shine More Brightly Through Me

“You are the light of the world.  A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 

Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."

--Matthew 5:14-16 (NKJ) 



Light of the world,


Shine more brightly through me…
…because You, my God, have called me to carry on the work that You began when You first sent Your Son, Jesus, to bring light and life to a dark and dying world.

Shine more brightly through me…

…because the light of life that You placed in me is not just for me, but for all people, and it will not go unnoticed, but will draw men to You, as I allow the life of that light to shine through me.

Shine more brightly through me…

…because as others pay attention to any good coming through my efforts, they need to know that You are the source of all things good and perfect and give all praise to You, my God.

Shine more brightly through me,

Light of the world.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
