Daily Prayer

My Lord and Savior, I believe fully in You, loving You with all of my being. I will stand for You and confess You before men. You are King of kings and Lord of lords.

I pray, God, that I will be a bright light, that I will be part of a church that sits on a hill, that my faith will not be hidden, but will shine in the darkness. That by all my actions people will know that You are God. I will take up the cross and follow You.

Amen
