Lord Jesus, as we ponder Your words, we find wisdom and challenge. We come before You, seeking to align our hearts with Your truth. In this prayer, we surrender:
Teach us self-denial, not mere restraint, but radical surrender. Our desires, ambitions, motives laid bare, in Your will, we find purpose beyond compare. Master, we lift our burdens to You, the cross—symbol of suffering, yet grace anew. Grant us strength to endure, to persevere, for Your sake, we carry it, drawing near.
Jesus, our footsteps echo Yours. Love, compassion, obedience—the open doors. In humility, we walk, trusting Your way, Faith’s lifelong journey, both night and day. Worldly allure beckons, glittering and bright, yet it fades, leaving emptiness in its flight. True life, abundant and eternal, we find, in surrender to You, our souls intertwined. Amen.
