PRAYERS TO FIND AND BE LIGHT

Matthew 5:14-16 (NET) – “14 You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 People do not light a lamp and put it under a basket but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they can see your good deeds and give honour to your Father in heaven.”

1. God would never leave us without empowering us with what we need for victory. So, let’s thank God for giving us Faith (no matter how small we may think it is)Thank God for being our light in this world and thank Him for He has made us the light of the world.

3. Declare that according to the prophetic declaration, we arise and shine for our light has come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon us. Decree that God’s glory will be evident on us.

Proverbs 4:18 – “But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.”

4. Pray and ask for grace to rise and shine as light in the various spheres of influence God has planted us into the glory of the Lord. Decree that our good works will no longer be hidden but they will become visible for all to see.
