Ash Wednesday
Living By Design Prayer Stations
Station 5
MISSION: Salt &
Light
Materials needed:​
- Salt & Light prayer card
- pen
In Matthew 5, Jesus says, "You are the salt of the earth... You are the light of the world." We seek to live by design so we can be salt and light to those around us, to our community, and to our world.
Consider & Choose. Where might God be calling you to be salt and light? Consider the community organizations, social issues listed below. (This would be a good opportunity to "press pause" and ask God which you are being called to focus on.)
​
Pray. Spend a moment praying for the organization or issue you have chosen. You might pray:
​
"God, you designed me to be salt and light in this world. Today I pray for ____________. Show me how you want me to be involved and give me the courage to shine."
​
Record & Commit. Write down this name on your "Salt & Light" prayer card. Commit to praying for them throughout Lent and to prayerfully responding to whatever opportunities arise. Consider finding out more about it this season.
​
Make it personal. Also consider if there might be a person God is inviting you to share light with. Write this name on the other side of your prayer card and commit to praying for this person and responding to whatever opportunities arise.
