Verses” Matthew 4:16, 17 [in part] (NIV)

the people living in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death
a light has dawned.”

…, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”

Father God, may the light of Christ shine through us today.  May those without Christ as Lord and Savior choose Him and be guided out of the darkness by His light.  In His holy name I pray, amen.
