JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Light Reflection is from First Timothy 2:1 to 4.

“I urge then, first of all that petitions, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people-for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.  This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.”

On Thursday, Americans will gather in over 60,000 local community events to pray for this nation.

People will be praying for strong foundations among families.

For our churches to be salt and light for the Gospel.

For the wisdom of government leaders as they make critical decisions.

For businesses to be innovative and thrive with integrity.

And for educators to pass along wisdom and instruction for today’s generation of students. They will become the leaders of tomorrow.

This Light Reflection inspires us to pray for the leaders among us in the Year to Shine.
