Morning Prayer for Today (January 5, 2026): Monday – Walking in the Light of Christ
Every new day invites us to choose the path we will walk. John 8:12 reveals a powerful truth spoken by Jesus Himself:
“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
Jesus is the light that guides us through confusion, uncertainty, and fear. When we follow Him, we are no longer led by darkness but by truth, hope, and life. As you begin this day, choose to walk in His light and allow it to illuminate every step you take.
