Lighting More Candles April 10, 2023

“If you’re not lighting any candles, don’t complain about the dark” - Anonymous

Do you ever worry about what’s going on in the world? Do you wonder why there is so much chaos and trouble, or why are many teenagers seem to have no direction, or why so many people are simply walking in the dark?

Can you make a list of things you’ve done in the last three days to turn up the light a little? Can you find the places where you’ve intentionally helped others overcome the darkness?

The job we have as Christians women is always to be willing to bring the light, going everywhere with a candle ready to shine. If it helps you, put a little candle in your purse today and remind yourself that there are places that are waiting for you to shine your light and offer your love, places that God has called you to go. Help Him any way that you can to overcome the darkness.

“Give freely to your neighbors and to the poor and needy in your land.” Deuteronomy 15:11 NCV

Let us pray: Lord, help us be willing to light a candle anywhere that seems dark. Bless the people around us with Your precious light. Father God, hear our prayers of intentions from today, from our prayer wall and for any unmentioned prayers in our hearts.. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.
