Lord God,

We thank You for Your Son Jesus

who taught us to live a life of servitude;

who modeled perfect adherence to Your will;

who demonstrated sacrificial love.

May Your Spirit strengthen and teach us

so that we may be like-minded with Christ

and follow His example.

For only by following Him

may we enter Your eternal dwelling.

He knows the way!

We pray that we never lose sight of Jesus

but follow Him closely, paying attention

to the direction He would have us go

and listening for His voice.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
