Lord Jesus,
Our faith journey is not always easy, but we know it is purposeful. Help us to follow You, embracing the challenges and sacrifices that come our way. Teach us to set aside our own desires and ambitions, aligning our hearts with Your will. Grant us the strength to live selflessly and sacrificially, just as You did.
We recognize our limitations, Lord, and we rely on Your strength. Keep us humble and open to Your guidance and revelation. Remind us of Your words, that those who lose their life for Your sake will save it. Help us to understand this paradox and to prioritize eternal values over temporary gains.
May we focus on what truly matters in Your kingdom, living each day with purpose and grace. In Your holy name, we pray.
Amen.
