Today’s Verse:
"Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up." - James 4:10
Prayer for Today :
Heavenly Father,
Thankyou for looking at us as Your children. Thankyou for not looking at us with a "ruler", or judging our performance. Thankyou for loving us unconditionally.
Father, through Jesus, You teach us to humble ourselves, to serve our brothers and sisters, to serve the poor, the sick and the needy, but just how many among us can really do that whole-heartedly? If we have pride in our heart, can we love? Likewise, if we judge people with worldly standards, if we evaluate the value of friendship or calculate the benefits from doing good deeds etc. Can we really take up servanthood?
Father, we are Your children no matter whether we do good or not because You love us, not that we derserve You love, grace or blessings. Father, help us to visualised that, help us to love others in return because You have loved us first.
Father, there are people out there who are really hungry for someone to hold them, for someone to talk to, for someone to go to places with, to share their bits and pieces in life with, to pray with and to learn more about Jesus with. Father, help us to be more caring, to be more sensitive, to be more outgoing, so that we may feel the needs of others (instead of our own), so that we may glorify Your name by being loving and caring christians in the community.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
