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.
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock Eternal. Isaiah 26:3-4
Dear Lord,
If we are steadfast in anything, may it be in our pursuit of you. May we choose to meditate on who you are; and when we think of you, may we fully believe in you. For you are Holy; you are Strong; you are Righteous; you are Truth; you are Triumphant; you are Love. And in knowing and believing these things, we will have peace. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
