Jesus
Teach me to be more loving to my neighbor.
May I decrease so YOU may increase!
Teach me to fill myself with YOUR Word.
May I decrease so YOU may increase!
Teach me to let go of the things of this world.
May I decrease so YOU may increase!
AMEN!

This week, look up the 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman.
He has determined humans show love in five different ways.
Read through these and determine if you relate to one or more of them.
Do you agree with his assessment, or do you think there are more or less ways to express love?
Which would you say is your preferred way to express love to others?
Which would you say is your preferred way to receive love from others?
How does God show love to you?
Does it fit into one of these five ways?
When you look at the way God loves and compare it to the way you love others, what can you do to love more like God?

Lord
You came to find the lost.
You came to rescue the imprisoned.
You came to save the sinner.
May I allow myself to surrender.
May I allow myself to struggle.
May I allow myself to sacrifice; so I may rely on YOU and allow YOU to come to my aid!

AMEN

Lord,
I am reminded that humility consists of truth in action, generosity in being with others, and joyfulness in being invited.
How great is the depth of the kindness which You have shown to those who love you.
AMEN

When you see poverty in the world, you might think, what can I do?
Especially when you see pictures of villages in third world countries who have no running water, no sanitation system, and no source of support to supply basic needs for survival.
It is heart breaking for anyone to see another human suffer.
You might consider how you can help and get discouraged because you think the load is too much for one person to carry.
On the contrary, God wouldn’t put something on your heart to do if He didn’t believe you could do it.
Plus you are not called to change the whole world all by yourself…Jesus did that already!
Spend time in prayer this week to help you determine how God wants to use you to help right an injustice in the world.
Then research a way you can help make a difference with someone either in a third world country or in your own community; wherever God is directing you.
When everyone does just a little, it is just enough to make a huge difference.

Lord fill me
with determination to do Your will!
Lord fill me
with the ability to surrender, so I can be more like You each day!
AMEN

In your life, you have positive and negative influences.
How do you determine which are the good ones and which are the bad ones?
They are not always clear.
There are times when there is a positive influence that you ignore because you are not in a good place yourself and other times when you are too close to a situation to see you are being influenced in a negative way.
How can you know?
When you turn to God for help and clarity, He can bring to light what is good and what is evil but are you willing to listen?
Spend time this week looking at the things which influence your life and prayerfully consider how the people and things you allow into our daily life affect you in a positive or negative way.
Summer is about to end and with the change of the season; you too should take time to change.

Jesus
You gave Your life for me…
What do I give to You?
What do I sacrifice?
Let me listen to Your Word!
Let me make time for prayer!
May my eyes and ears be opened for Your Spirit to lead me!
AMEN

In a world that puts so much focus on “I” and “ME” it’s no wonder humility is hard to find.
There are stories about people spending over their means only to impress others by their name brand clothes and the car they drive.
More stories of those who spend hours getting tummies tucked and plastic surgery to “fix” what they believe are flaws in how they were created.
The stories go on and on including people of all ages being bullied, shunned and some even killed because another person doesn’t think they live up to specific standards.
It is hard for us to push away insecurities brought on by media or the opinion of others.
We often forget we aren’t defined by what society says is “cool” or “acceptable”, rather by the one who created us.
God says we are chosen and loved, just the way we are and doesn’t ask for us to impress Him.
We are only asked to follow in His steps and accept and love one another, just as God created them.
It is when we stop worrying about impressing others with material things and embrace God’s opinion of us that we can find humility.
We can truly understand that life is “not all about me”, rather it is all about “we” and how we put God first in our lives.
Take time this week to consider what you do in order to impress others (words or actions) or how you change yourself (words or actions) in order to fit into a group of people at work/school.
AND then pray…see what God wants you to do about it! Remember, God is the only one you should try to impress ;-)

09/02/2026

Jesus,
You came to find the lost.
You came to rescue the imprisoned.
You came to save the sinner.
I am lost, imprisoned and a sinner.
May I allow myself to be found.
May I allow myself to be rescued.
May I allow myself to be saved.
I am found, rescued and saved.
Thank you Jesus, you are my Savior!
Amen
