My Light And My Salvation

The LORD is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?

—Psalm 27:1 (NKJV)

LORD God Almighty,

You are the light that shines upon me, the light that shines within me, and the light that shines through me—whom shall I fear, but You?

Though the darkness of the evil of this world would try to overshadow me and the chaos of this life would try to drive from me all hope of clarity, order, understanding and purpose, You shine Your light upon me, showing me the way that I should go—so whom shall I fear, but You?

Though the shadow of my sin would try to overcome me, darken my heart, and enslave me within myself, Your light, which shines bright within me to drive away that darkness, is my salvation both now and forevermore—so whom shall I fear, but You?

Though I could never accomplish that which You have called me to do in my own strength or power, Your light shining through me is my strength—empowering me to be everything You need me to be—so whom shall I fear, but You?

You are the light that shines upon me, the light that shines within me, and the light that shines through me—whom shall I fear, but You?

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
