Matthew 5:16 — “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

Lord, we pray for the Church in America to be a beacon of hope, love, and truth during this season. Help Your people to rise above partisanship and be a witness to Your kingdom. May we lead by example, showing kindness, patience, and grace in every interaction. Give us courage to speak the truth in love and to stand for righteousness without compromising our witness. Let the world see Your love through us, and may many be drawn to You as a result. Use us to be instruments of peace and unity. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
