God, Your children come to you with a heart of repentance. We do not want to live a life contrary to what you have laid out for us in your word. But we want to be alight to those stuck in the darkness. Help us to always follow you and what you have taught us, while also helping to pull others out of the darkness and sinful lives they live. We know we aren’t perfect, but your grace is sufficient to cover a multitude of sins. We know you will be with us in portraying that message. We know you will help us through the power of the Holy Spirit to win souls for you without compromising our testimonies. Give us divine appointments and lead us away from temptations. InJesus name, Amen.

Start doing. Commit to a step and live it out this week.
