Lord, may we surrender our hesitating will to pick up your Holy and Heavenly Way. Trade skepticism for salvation by being ALL IN with You Lord. May we walk and acknowledge that we won’t always understand our path, our surroundings, nor our circumstances, but know that You, Lord, find us ‘peace beyond understanding’. Let us live in that knowledge and PRAISE YOU. We praise Peace before us and a Path of fulfillment of our lives, walking with You. 

Lord, may we open our ears and hearts to listen for You today. You are calling upon our lives, You desire that we stop trying to build without You, and accept Your rebuilding of our dust into Your image and especially with Your Heart. You have spoken to these our hearts urging: “whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it.” With the Holy Spirit to guide us, Lord, let us surrender into Your Save. Let us build trust in You, and follow faithfully. Our faith can only be in You – the one faith, one Person, one purpose, One acceptance of You, Lord, Your saving grace. May we faithfully pursue Your Peace. 

You are Worthy.

Amen

Mark 8:34-38 NKJV

Take Up the Cross and Follow Him

When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”

Paul to the Phillipians 4:4-9 NKJV

Philippians 4

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.
