\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Heavenly Father,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We offer to you this week all of our thoughts, words and actions,<\/p>\n

all of our sufferings and disappointments, and all our joys.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We pray that as the days grow darker, we remember that He is the great light that will bring us to the Kingdom of Heaven.<\/p>\n

Jesus taught us that those who follow His word are the light of the world, and a city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lord, we pray that our light shines before others so they may see our good works, and we glorify you, our Father in Heaven.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lord, grant that none may love you less this week because of us. That never a word or act of ours may turn one soul away from you.<\/p>\n

For one more grace we pray, that many souls this week, because of our works, may love you more. Amen.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
