Today’s prayer
Written prayerWhen I get caught up in the race to determine who is greater, when the creature of comparison tries to creep into my everyday life I will remember Your words, Jesus, in Matthew 17, Mark 9 and Luke 9. Instead of fighting for who is going to be greater, my fight will be a personal one for how I'm going to serve others. You spoke and declared that the least shall be the greatest in Your Kingdom. You spoke and declared, Jesus, that the last shall be first and because it came from Your mouth I take this as truth. Through this truth, I can rest and know that just because it appears I'm in last place in my life, in my dreams and in my goals it doesn’t mean that that’s my final outcome. Through You God I acknowledge that in just 24 hours You can change everything, You can lift me to a place that no one saw coming because I’m focused on me and what I’m called to do. I pray that this mindset will reach the minds of our children so they won’t stumble and fall to the lie of comparing. Let them understand that the only comparison that matters is comparing our heart and actions with You Lord.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
