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.
In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:10
Dear Lord God,
There is no greater love than your love! Jesus, you came to us; you gave your life on our behalf--your perfect one for our sinful one. We did nothing to deserve it. Because of you, we can experience true love that lasts forever. Cause our hearts to rest and rejoice in this truth. In your Name, Amen.
