Refreshing Your Connection

Jesus, master, once you spoke unforgettable words to your disciples about being the light of the world. You called yourself the light and said that we, too, must be the light. You told us to be lamps of faith burning bright, reflections of goodness of your Father in Heaven. Make me a reflector of your light so that those around me, beginning with my family, my relatives and friends, may find at least a little bit of you in me.[1] Psalm 147:1,5,11 Praise the Lord.

Come mighty Spirit, work in my soul. Remind me of how much I need God's help. Remind me, too, of the gift of grace that is mine for the asking.

I need your mighty Spirit, to transform my life and guide me to Jesus.[1] Psalm 144: 1-2, 15 1 Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. 2 He is my loving God and my fortress, my stro
