Oh Lord, let my soul seep through my exterior. Strip away the ego, the masks, the false shine, and let the eternal light You placed within me radiate to those around me.
Let me not speak from selfish façades or from the noise of my own mind, but let Your Spirit within be the true author of my story. May others see me, not merely with their eyes, but with the eyes of the heart—tuned to the frequency of love, grace, and care.
Father, I long to walk this path so closely with You that my steps become an invitation for others. May my presence be more than words—a living beacon of hope for those searching, weary, or lost. Let me be transparent enough that Your light shines through, a lamp on the hill that cannot be hidden.
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” — Matthew 5:14–16
I want to carry a message beyond language, soul to soul, heart to heart. Not that I may be exalted, but that You may be glorified. Like the shepherd who seeks out the one wandering sheep, I want to guide others toward Your embrace, to be a vessel of comfort, peace, and direction for those seeking You.
“For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.” — 2 Corinthians 4:6
Prayer:
Lord, let the shine beneath me never be dimmed by fear, pride, or distraction. Let me live not for applause, but for Your approval. Fill me so deeply with Your presence that others encounter You before they encounter me. May I be a lantern carrying Your flame, a reflection of the eternal Light that never fades. Use my life as a signal fire, drawing souls home to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
