Prayers for Day Ten…
Usually I just want to get to the bottom
line. Tell me what to do and I will do
it. Give me the rule and I will follow
it. In Matthew 22, a lawyer in Jerusalem also wanted to get to the bottom
line: “Teacher, which is the great commandment
in the Law?” And he said to him, “You
shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and
with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a
second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (vs. 36-39)
Love God. Everything
else flows out of that love for the God who created you, who died for you, who
has prepared a place in eternity for you.
Love others. To grow
in Christlike-ness means to grow in love.
Christ loved others. He did not baby
or coddle, but he loved the people. In
love, He met their needs…the most essential one being their need for a Savior.
Commit to praying the following prayers for your sons
