Father, shine the light of Jesus into our neighbors’ lives and guide them away from any false light.
Father, help our neighbors to need you and believe in the one you sent.
Father, use us as your hands and feet to love our neighbors well.
Lord, give our neighbors soft hearts to be caring, loving, and compassionate to their families and in their relationships. Help them to know that true peace and joy only come from you.
Father God, let our neighbors see that you are the Way and the Truth and the Life. May they realize that no one can come to you except through Jesus Christ.
Father, I also pray for my brothers and sisters here today that you will show them ways to share the love of Jesus through acts of kindness and caring. May your Holy Spirit guide them to share the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ with their neighbors. Let them share, Lord Jesus, what you have done in their lives and bless them as they help prepare the ground through prayer for their neighbors.
In John 8:12 Jesus promises that those who follow him will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.
Lord Jesus, as we walk in obedience to you, please grow us to be more like you so that the truth can be made known in the eyes and hearts of our neighbors and loved ones.
In Christ's name.
Amen
