Prayer:

Dear Jesus, Thank you for your coming as the light of life to the dark world. My life used to be empty and I was lacking the priority in life because I did not have my eternal life-goal. I had never thought about eternal life, and I did not have hope in this world. Since you came into my life, the darkness of my life has been enlightened with your light. The light of your truth exposes deception. The light of your righteousness exposes the evil. The light of your warm love expels dark and cold selfishness in my heart. The light of hope motivates me to overcome any difficulty and hardship in my life.  Dear Jesus, help me to walk in your light every moment of my life. I pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.
