Choosing To Follow Him | Guided Prayers

When we live our lives in obedience to Jesus, choose to follow Him, Scripture describes our role as salt and light.

You are the salt of the earth, Jesus says in Matthew 5.13.

And later in verse 14, he says, You are the light of the world.

Our relationship with Jesus is meant to be reflected to a world that desperately needs him.

And as we walk in this reality, others will see our reflection of Jesus and be pointed to him.

Let's read through Matthew 5.13 through 16 together.

You are the salt of the earth.

But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?

It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

You are the light of the world.

A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.

Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.

Instead, they put it on its stand and it gives light to everyone in the house.

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Ask God to remove distractions as we spend time praying today.

Thank God that He has called you saw and light.

Pray that they would see Christ clearly through your words and actions.

Amen.
