A Prayer for Today

Dear Heavenly Father, I come before You with a humble heart, seeking to understand the profound power of prayer in our role as salt and light in this world. Open my eyes to the significance of this calling and help me to embrace it with love and conviction.

I come before You with an open heart, ready to fully embrace my role as salt and light in the world. Help me to love and serve others unconditionally, just as You have loved and served me. – Amen
