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.
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. 1 John 3:1b
Dear Lord,
Like a newborn baby in her mother's arms, you love us completely, without exceptions and without expectations. Declare to our hearts, "No performance needed." For you have done the work for us already! Reassure us today that we, by faith in your Son, can rest in your arms; and then, by the grace of your Spirit, we can mature in your truths. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
