Speaking Light



And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.  God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.

--Genesis 1:3-4 (NIV)



Creator of Light,



May every word I speak be light and life to those who hear it.


You spoke, “Let there be light,” and it came into being—forever demonstrating for us the creative power of Your spoken Word.

Knowing that You have made me in Your image, may I ever be mindful that my words also contain a power to create.

Forgive me, for too often my words have created doubt instead of hope, discouragement instead of encouragement, hurt instead of healing, and darkness instead of light.

Just as You saw that the light was good, help me to speak in such a way that I might see good things created from the words I speak, to bring glory to You.


May every word I speak be light and life to those who hear it.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
