Aug 22 - Unity Through Humility

TODAY'S FOCUS

Unity is protected when we lay down selfish ambition and consider the needs of others.

TODAY WE CARRY BEFORE THE LORD

We pray for a greater love for people—a love that is patient, truthful, compassionate, present, and willing to serve across differences and inconveniences.

LISTEN AND RESPOND

Whose needs have I dismissed because they are inconvenient?

Do people experience truth and love together through me?

Where is Jesus asking me to move from expectation to service?

PRAYER

Jesus, give us Your mind. Help us release the need to be recognized, consulted, praised, or preferred. Teach us to listen, honor, serve, and seek the good of others. Deepen our love for people until compassion becomes practical and relationships become places where Your grace and truth are visible.
