“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.10For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy, your body also is full of darkness.35See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness.36Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be just as full of light as when a lamp shines its light on you.”

When Jesus went outside, the Pharisees and the teachers of the law began to oppose him fiercely and to besiege him with questions, 54waiting to catch him in something he might say.

Lord God my Father,

You are provider and sustainer, you are all things good. Fill me with your way and bring your Peace on me so it may transform me and your light will shine out from me so others will desire it. Make me aware of any darkness so I may release it to you. I know darkness will not leave without a fight so prepare me for the battle of the day and make your light shine.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
