Paul wrote: I came to you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. My speech and my proclamation were made not with persuasive words of wisdom but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might rest not on human wisdom but on the power of God. 1 Corinthians 2:3-5

Holy Spirit, move within us to be beacons of your word. Inspire us to use not only our words, but our actions, to be examples of your love. Help us bring your light to the world. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
