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.
Know, therefore, the Lord your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stubborn people. Deuteronomy 9:6
Dear Lord,
Great is your faithfulness! Forgive us when we are stiff-necked and stubborn, thinking we know more than you. Soften our hearts to recognize the magnitude of your mercy and the richness of your love. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
