DAY 18: LESS OF ME AND MORE OF THEE
LESS OF ME AND MORE OF THEE
He must become greater; I must become less." 31 The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all. -John 3:30-31 NIV®
Devotional
Have you heard the saying, "In order to go up, you must take a down?" In other words, we all want to rise to the occasion, but sometimes, to do that, we make sacrifices and take the focus on ourselves and place it on others. As we fast and pray, where is your focus? Is it merely on me or those who need to hear a word from me? Each day, I believe we can achieve great heights in our walk as Christians if we allow others in need to be our priority; as you lift someone, know that God is elevating you up and even higher!
Prayer
Most Holy God, we ask afresh that You will help us to see the needs of those who live on the margins of life. As I decrease my wants and desires, fill me with your presence where I can be salt and light to those around me. Enable me to display Your love, peace, and care because I am an ambassador for Jesus Christ; thank you for this great opportunity afforded to me; in the Name of Him, I pray, Amen!

Often putting others before ourselves. Can be a challenge. Being less isn’t less it is actually MORE. AMEN WALKING BY FAITH NOT SIGHT.
AMEN

Praying for others and their needs and their spiritual growth are unselfish prayers and very much needed each and everyday.
We must stand in the gap for a dying world filled with sin, sickness, terrible crimes etc.Those who are incarcerated, people sleeping on the actually ground, people’s whose bodies are riddled with cancer and sickness and the list goes on and on.
Just like Jesus stands on the right hand side of Father and pleads on our behalf We need to do the same.

I join you in this prayer. Despite my own challenges I have a Prayer List which includes all the above, As child I often wondered why mama had to pray for the whole world but I thank her for teaching me to pray this way. God bless
