Let there be light. God’s first act of creation was to create light. This makes sense as God is the Father of Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. Despite our modern age and technologically advanced society, an estimated 1.5 billion people in the world today live without electric light. When was the last time we gave thanks for the light we easily access with the flip of a switch?
Light helps us see where we are walking, avoid danger, create, work, play, and read. Without light there would be no life. How can we be so careless of something so essential? We are never more thankful for something than when we’ve had to do without it for a while. Remember the last power outage at your house? This Thanks Giving let’s give thanks to the Father of Lights.

Pray for light.
- Do you have any dark areas in your life? Since darkness cannot exist in the presence of light, find a Bible verse that applies to a current area of challenge or temptation and pray the light of God’s Word into your trial.
- Pray for God’s light to shine on the next step for your life, and the lives of your loved ones.
- Pray for the lost of the world to accept the Light of the World.

I like definition #2, mental understanding or spiritual insight. When I don’t understand a situation, I can always ask that God will show me how to pray by giving me a verse and shedding His light on the situation. I also know that even when I don’t get it, the Holy Spirit is interceding in just the right way. Thanks for this post!
