Morning Prayer
Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.
Inspiration
Sometimes, we wonder why other people have an easier time than we do. ‘Why me?’ we lament. But do we ask ‘why me?’ when we are given an easier load than our neighbor? Usually, we don’t. God calls us each to our specific purpose, and we serve Him best when we focus on His will and plan for us, instead of comparing our circumstances to those of our neighbors.
Prayer
Father, thank You for calling me and equipping me to serve You and Your kingdom. I do not understand why You have chosen me for the life You have given me, but I ask that You empower me to faithfully serve where You have placed me. Protect my heart from envy over those whose path seems easier, and let me not lose compassion for those whose struggle is greater. In Jesus’ name, amen.
