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

God, do you hear me?

Hear my cry, O God; give heed to my prayer. From the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Psalm 61:1-2

Dear Lord,

Thank you for hearing our individual cries. Please Lord, in each of our circumstances, we ask for your wisdom and direction, your blessing and peace. We take confidence in the truth that not only do you hear us, but you are ready and willing to answer. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
