Prayer from Mark 8:34-35

Father, You lovingly call me to a deeper fellowship. Your call to…

deny myself, 
take up my cross, 
and follow You

...touches on my deepest need in life. Your call invites my soul to its true place of rest or home. This call is not easy. I need Your help and grace. 

Help me when I’m feeling distracted, or worse, maybe I’m wanting to distract myself from my reality. Help me to deny, or turn from the temporary, to You. 

Help me when I’m afraid. Help me when I’m facing my fears to know You also faced Your fears going to the cross. May I not be ashamed of You. 

Help me to follow You. You are the leader. I’m Your follower. May I do what I’ve seen you doing in scripture. May I love the way You love. 

In this pursuit of You, I will find a quality of rest nothing else in life can offer. Thank you for giving my soul rest and renewal. 

Amen.
