Whose spotlight?

 

For what we proclaim

    is not ourselves,

but Jesus Christ as Lord...

       2 Corinthians 4. 5

(What is my intention

    in this situation?

Do I want to be the hero

   and claim God's glory?

Or acknowledge

    what only God can do?

God does not need

            our victories

  to point others to Him.

Just to be faithful.)

O LORD,

We pray today

   that You are revealed

even in unexpected places

    and unlikely ways

that we have the honor

   of being a witness to You.

May Your redeeming

   radiate through the cracks.

Empower us

     to bring Your name here.

Even in this situation today.

Even in ways

           we are not aware.

Make our speech gracious

   and Your work in us fruitful.
