Good morning! Today I am asking us to pray together for our high schoolers as well as ourselves. Right now we have 33 high schoolers at Port Aransas for Beach Camp. This is their key verse.

1 John 1:5-7
5 This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; 7 but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

We praise You Father in heaven for You alone are holy. You shine brighter than a million suns. Unlike us, You have no dark corners, no embarrassing shadows, nothing hidden in the closet. Holy Spirit of God, shine the light of Your truth this moment in my life. Is there anything that I have kept hidden that needs to come out before You and others? Give me courage. Give us a radical, fresh repentance. Let us be a people set apart so that our light may shine and bring glory to You. We want to be people who move from treating the truth as a badge of honor to practicing the truth as an act of love. We want to be people who move from bludgeoning each other with truth to enjoying the fellowship walking in the Light produces. We want to live in the reality that we have been cleansed from sin. Praise You Jesus! Lord Jesus Son of God make us as holy as saved sinners can be this side of heaven.

Pray this for yourself, the high schoolers and their leaders.

Thanks for joining us in prayer,
Neil
