Praying with Paul: 'Standing in the Light'

Ephesians 5:7

Dear Father,

Keep me from being silent when your cause is threatened by evil people, even though I and my family and the people I care about may perish.

May I stand with courage, for you are able to raise deliverance from another quarter. And if I perish, I perish. May I not take part in any way in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.

In the name of Jesus, the holy Light of mankind. Amen.
