Direct attention to Jesus rather than to yourself

Keep the message hidden unless you can make it impressive

Make your own experience the center and use Jesus as background

Wait to speak until people already agree with you

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and need your mercy. I turn from my sin and trust that you died for me and rose again. I confess you as Lord, and I ask you to lead me out of darkness into your light. Make me yours and teach me to follow you. Amen.

Come Into Your Light

Lord, awaken your Church to the joy of not being the light but pointing to the true Light. Free us from pride, fear, and self-importance. Make our words and lives clear testimonies of Jesus to the world around us, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Make Your Church a Clear Witness

Thank you for the people who did not seek the spotlight but helped me see Christ. Thank you for every quiet testimony, every faithful word, and every life that directed attention to your light.

Thank You for Those Who Pointed Me

Pray by naming one place where you can point others to Jesus without drawing attention to yourself. Ask God for humility, clarity, and courage, then ask him to help your words stay centered on Christ.

A Prayer for Clear Testimony

Father, I lift up someone who does not yet see your light. Use even my quiet words and faithful actions to point them to Jesus. Open their heart, clear their confusion, and draw them toward the truth, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

For Someone Still in the Dark

Bring to God: the desire to be noticed; any temptation to make faith about yourself; a willingness to be a signpost that points away from you and toward Christ; courage to disappear so Jesus is seen more clearly.

Grow My Humility
