Thank you that these can be used to share Christ. Please guide us to make things that are beautiful and honest and true. May we not work from a place of emptiness. Seeking to climb the ladder of the world for our own personal gain. But may we instead flow from a place of fullness. Knowing that in Christ, we are truly nourished. And from that place in your arms, may we overflow with that cross-shaped love out into the world.For those of us who are called to share Christ online, please give us the strength do so boldly and creatively. By your Spirit, may doors be opened for our message. And yet, may it also be our ambition to lead quiet lives.Keep us from getting caught up in the spectacle of social media. Challenge us and ground us if we ever fall into using technology as a means to dehumanise. We ask that our work would instead amplify and point to the intensely personal reality of Christ and his church. May the digital be a complement and not replacement for the physical.May the tiny pixels of our screens be overwhelmed by the light of Christ himself.Amen.Find out more and sign up to our Hero's Creed Intensive (18th-21st June) : speaklife.org.uk/intensivesOn 18th June at 7:30pm, we'll be joined by Dr Martin Shaw for a special live evening called Myths That Make Us.Tickets are limited, so book now at speaklife.org.uk/mythsIf you book for the full Hero's Creed Intensive, your ticket to Myths That Make Us is included for free.Support the show
