Today’s Prayer (11/03/2020)

Oh Lord, help us all to become selfless. We ask that You take every ounce of selfishness in our lives and rip it all out. We no longer wish to fulfill our own selfish desires while other people’s needs are not being met. Give us eyes to see those who are less fortunate, that we may lend a helping hand. Help us see their needs and do all we can to supply them. If it means giving them money, clothing, or food, I am willing. What I gain from my job is all Yours, so do with it as You please, God. And if it is isn’t money, but a person to lend an ear to, I will give it. If it is a person who will pray with and for them, I will do so. Many people are left in this darkened world and have no idea of the path they are on. Therefore, give me words of wisdom, that I may reach them with the truth of the gospel. For this, I need Your guidance and direction. Even the boldness that comes from heaven is what will help me in these efforts. Be with me, God. I cannot do anything good for Your kingdom on my own will, but only if You are ever with me. Surely, if You are doing a work in me, I can do all things. Nothing You desire will ever be left unaccomplished if I would just continue to look to You in faith, listen to You, and follow Your wise counsel. I have seen the fruits of Your doings in my life already and believe there is still much more left to do in Your kingdom. I pray that many more people are loved on, as well as brought to You in faith. May more people see the love in me as I care for their different needs. I love and honor You, Lord, with all my heart, mind, strength, and soul. I give You praise and glory, this day and forever. Amen.

Mark 12:28-31

Mark 12:28-31 (KJV)
28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
