Dearest God,

How do I make you my number one priority? How do I give you the deepest place in my heart? How do I shift all my loyalties and place you first?

If the goal of life is to love and serve you and our neighbor, how do we rid ourselves of selfish, self-centered ways? How do we allow you to erase our sin, recollect our goodness, and give us the ability to be all we can become?

The more I see you, the more I know about you, and the more I feel love and grace from you, the more I want to love and serve you. I want to walk in your light, radiate that light to the world, and be a beacon of light to those close to me. Like you I want to shine light on dark places. I want to give off light that warms the heart and soul. I want to be light that dispels fear, giving way to faith.

Make me light,
Gracious God,
let your light
shine in
and through me.
I want
to be light
that clears
the way,
allowing for courage
to step ahead.
Let me hold
your light
for others,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
