I am the light of the world. I let my light shine. Divine Light is the presence and power of God- the activity of God. I am illuminated by

Divine Light. I claim my spiritual nature and let my light shine. Even in the midst of difficulty or sorrow, even in the midst of a rapidly changing world, the light of God

shines brightly in me. Through prayer, I turn on the light within. The moment I connect with Spirit, light streams forth from within. I allow the light of God to illuminate my

thoughts, inspire my words, and empower my actions. The light of God shines brightly in me.

You are the light of the world, let your light shine. Matthew 5:14-16
