Father God,

Today, I pray that we Your children would be a light to others, reflecting the glory of Your work in us to our brothers and sisters in Christ. I pray that we would pursue godliness in our walk on this earth that goes beyond our hearts and minds and spreads out into how we live and relate in our daily lives.

I pray that our faith in our Savior would produce works of that faith which encourage and edify other Christians around us. I pray that we would not stop at a pietistic feel good inside type of faith, but we would live out thanksgiving for Your grace by obeying Your commands to love one another.

I pray that You would magnify the beauty of Your Church through Your Spirit working in us to be Your hands and feet on this earth.

In Christ’s Name,

Amen.
