Thanks Richard, a meditation worth having and sharing.
My thoughts are that we need to spend time thinking about thinking and praying about praying, but mostly we need to be about our Fathers business of being a light to the world so that others may see our good WORKS and glorify our Father in heaven. God expects us to do good for others, not just pray for them, and in this way others will benefit and will praise God and come to him.
You may not feel adequate but God calls you salt and light, don't undermine your own ability to glorify God by feelings of inadequacy- you are adequate enough for God to open your mind and give you his Spirit. Now its up to you to WORK.
You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its savour, with what shall it be salted? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and to be trodden underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do men light a lamp and put it under the grain-measure, but on a lampstand. And it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your GOOD WORKS and glorify your Father who is in Heaven.

Don't hide your light!
Have a great day.
Thank you Martin. The encouragement is always appreciated. That is why feedback is so important, iron sharpening iron.
