so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people. Hold firmly to the word of life; then, on the day of Christ’s return, I will be proud that I did not run the race in vain and that my work was not useless.
- Philippians 2:15-16

Lord, shape us into people who shine like stars in a dark world by holding firmly to the word of life. Let our witness be both clear in conviction and compelling in character.
