Morning Prayer 

If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

Inspiration 

Jesus explains to us that there is a cost to discipleship. We must be willing to give up everything and surrender our lives to follow Him. Jesus sacrificed His life for our salvation because it was part of God's plan. What is God's plan for our lives today? Are we willing to give up our time, money, addictions, or relationships to follow Him? We find it challenging to lay down materials, thoughts, or lifestyle choices to walk with Jesus because the cost seems pricey. We will turn to God and ask for strength as we let go.

Prayer 

Dear God, We are ready to pay the cost of discipleship. We are eager to lay down everything that separates us from You. Please strengthen us as we answer Your call today. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
