PRAYER and FASTING
Session One
Darkness too light
REFLECTION
The language of doom and gloom is the basic narrative of most western cultures today. As people have drifted away from their faith in Jesus and placed their trust in a person or philosophy so we have seen a decline in personal harmony.
This promise from Isaiah tells us that this time of despair will not go on forever. God’s promise that the people living in darkness will see a great light has already begun and we want to ask God to help us experience this amazing light and also become light bearers to those we will encounter in Jesus name
QUOTES
“Christmas is God lighting a candle; and you don’t light a candle in a room that’s already full of sunlight. You light a candle in a room that’s so murky that the candle, when lit, reveals just how bad things really are.”
― N.T. Wright, For All God’s Worth: True Worship and the Calling of the Church
PRAYER
- Thank God for the incredible light we have in Jesus
- Pray that you will be a light bearer for God during this season
- Intercede for families and friends praying specifically for God’s light to shine in the darken corners of their lives
MEDITATE
‘People who walk in darkness..’. Take time to comprehend what this darkness might mean and how it manifests itself in your life.
