Pray
Dear Loving and Gracious God
Thank you for the gift of life. Give us a clear vision, a bold courage, a new strength, and an abundant amount of joy to follow Your Ways. Today, let us open our ears to hear wisdom’s call. Let us open our hearts to embrace the wisdom of the cross. And let us commit to following Jesus, not just when it is easy, but in every moment, trusting that His way leads to eternal life. In the powerful name of Jesus, and Your Holy Spirit we pray. Amen

Remember (Mark 8:34-35)
He called the crowd with his disciples and said to them, “If any wish to come after me, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it.
