A Passage and A Prayer...Matthew 16:25-26

By Chris Baxter

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.

Daily Prayer

He bends down to listen...

I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath. Psalm 116:1-2

Dear Lord,

Thank you for bending down to listen to each one of us. You care deeply. You know the sound of each of our cries and also what we need in the moment. Thank you for pouring out your grace and mercy. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
