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.

When your soul is weeping

The Lord is near to the broken-hearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18

Dear Lord,

You know. We don't even have to explain. You feel. You hold. You listen. You understand. You give your love. We can wrestle, and we can rest...In Jesus' Name, Amen.
