"Jesus, on this Christmas eve we worship You, Savior of the whole earth and Light of the world. We extol Your holy Name. There is no other name more beautiful and no other name by which men may be saved. Father, we are grateful that You sent Your son to be the Light of salvation to our dark world. We intercede for those that have not yet come to know You. We pray, Lord that You would help their blind eyes see. Continue to shine Your bright light into the darkest recesses of their hearts, so they will desire to come to You and find freedom from the darkness that holds their soul in bondage.
"Lord, the salvation of the souls of men can remove much darkness in every area of our society. When we give our lives to You, we live differently. We walk as those in the light and avoid dark places. Our nation is in great need of this level of salvation. Light, shine in the darkness and drive it all out. Save the souls of men and women and save our nation in return. Mindsets change when the light comes. Dark and twisted ways of thinking clear up and straighten up. We can see the path we are on and determine to walk Your way instead of our own. Come, Light of the world, shine on us and we shall be saved. Let our nation become that shining light set on a hill, drawing the lost to You, Lord Jesus. In Your name, Amen.
“The people who sat in darkness have seen a great Light; they sat in the land of death, and the Light broke through upon them.” (Matthew 4:16 TLB)
“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12 ESV)
“What makes everything clear is light. Therefore it is said: ‘Get up, sleeper, and rise up from the dead, and the Messiah will shine on you.’” (Ephesians 5:14 HCSB)
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Your light must shine before people in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16 NASB)
