A Passage and A Prayer...Matthew 16:25-26

By Chris Baxter

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.

What does abundance look like?

Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father's Son, in truth and love. 2 John 3

Dear Lord God,

You have poured out your grace, mercy, peace, truth and love through your Son; and we have access to all these things, at all times, through your abiding Spirit. Thank you! May we daily live within this abundance. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
