Take time to read John 8:12-19, then pray the prayer below.
Jesus once again addressed them: “I am the world’s Light. No one who follows me stumbles around in the darkness. I provide plenty of light to live in.”13 The Pharisees objected, “All we have is your word on this. We need more than this to go on.” 14-18 Jesus replied, “You’re right that you only have my word. But you can depend on it being true. I know where I’ve come from and where I go next. You don’t know where I’m from or where I’m headed. You decide according to what you can see and touch. I don’t make judgments like that. But even if I did, my judgment would be true because I wouldn’t make it out of the narrowness of my experience but in the largeness of the One who sent me, the Father. That fulfills the conditions set down in God’s Law: that you can count on the testimony of two witnesses. And that is what you have: You have my word and you have the word of the Father who sent me.” 19 They said, “Where is this so-called Father of yours?” Jesus said, “You’re looking right at me and you don’t see me. How do you expect to see the Father? If you knew me, you would at the same time know the Father.” – The Message
Light of my Life
Lord you are the incomparable light that has come into the world.
You are the light that dissipates the moral and spiritual darkness of my life.
Everyone who believes in you will not remain in darkness.
Thank you for giving me the light of life and making me a son of light.
I want to continue believing in you and shine your light to others.
I pray that your light would dispel the fear in my life and give me the direction I need.
I pray that I would reflect your light showing others the value that you give to every person from conception until death.
May my life show the light of your love to others regardless of their background or ethnicity.
I pray that in the midst of the chaos and confusión of our world, my life may be a channel of your light.
Help me to reflect you Christ, Light of the world in my home, in my work and wherever I am.
In the name of Jesus the Light of the world, Amen.
