Memory Verse

“I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.”—1 Corinthians 9:22–23 (NIV)

Prayer Guide

Father, make me more like Your Son in every way today—in my giving, in my attitude, in my heart toward my “rights” and “freedoms!” May my actions not cause anyone to stumble or be a hinderance to the work of the gospel. Instead, I pray Your Spirit works in me to make me a humble, willing stepping stone for the advancement of the gospel and the edification of the believers; to be an ambassador for Christ who daily is more accurately able to represent the Lord Jesus to the world and to my brothers and sisters. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
