Respite For the Weary
For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake shall find it. For what will a man be profited, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
Matthew 16: 25-26
Most High God,
The lure of being "the best" is so prevalent and deceiving in our culture in academics, in athletics, in appearance, in position… on and on. Please help my children not to worship any of these things as gods; instead, create in them the desire to USE THEIR GIFTS and abilities to worship You ALONE, no matter the place or position You have CHOSEN for them.
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:6
Dear Lord,
Help us to realize that more than anything else (more than our money, more than our good works, more than our attempts at flawless living), you desire faith. Faith IN YOU, then as a result, our actions will flow as a sincere offering. May we believe in all of who you are so that we can walk in your ways, one dependent step at a time. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
