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.
How then will you comfort me with empty nothings? Job 21:34
Dear Lord,
Please give us discernment when we are trying to comfort someone who is in deep grief or ongoing despair. Take judgement out of our hearts and replace it with compassion. May our words be few and our love be great. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
