> Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
>
> — 1 John 3:16 KJV

## Written prayer

Lord, help me comprehend the kind of love that is willing to lay its life down for another. I know your death on the cross paid the price for my sins, but the reality of that sacrifice is unimaginable. I feel like a selfish child when I get upset things don't work out the way I want them too. I am concerned more about being the center of attention then about honoring and making others a success in your kingdom. Jealousy rises in my heart when others are exalted, and I see how limited my love is. Show me how to lay down my life for others. Help me recognize that your kingdom rewards humility and lovingkindness. Amen.
