Morning Prayer 

For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

Inspiration 

While there is no such thing as a continual carnal Christian who never shows any fruit in his or her life, there is certainly such a thing as a relatively carnal Christian, who is temporarily ensnared by the lusts of the eyes, the lusts of the flesh, and the pride of life. The more spiritual we become, the less important will seem the transient things of this life and the allure of fame, fortune, and supposed superiority over others.

Prayer 

Let us die daily to self, Lord, for to die to self and sin is to live that much more to God. Turn our concern inward to the things of the soul, to eternal things that matter most. And turn our concern outward to the welfare of others and most of all to pleasing you, our God, in everything we do. Amen.
