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.
Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling... Jude !:24
Dear Lord,
Help us to remember to cry out to you in times of temptation. Grab hold of our hand with your firm and steadfast love. Pull us toward your goodness and your righteousness. Please continue to grow an unending desire within our hears that longs for all of you. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
