Pray for faith – embrace your true calling by seeking God’s approval above all else.

Message: The verse from Galatians 1:10 challenges us to reflect on whom we are truly serving in our lives. It asks us to consider if we are striving to meet the expectations of others rather than focusing on our relationship with Christ. To be a servant of Christ means to embrace His teachings and to seek His approval above all else. This can sometimes lead to feelings of isolation or conflict with those around us who may not understand or support our faith journey. However, the true fulfillment comes from serving God and living out His purpose for our lives, rather than bending to societal pressures and the desires of man. When we realign our priorities and dedicate ourselves to the calling God has placed in our hearts, we open ourselves to a deeper relationship with Him. This devotion to Christ frees us from the exhausting need to please others and allows us to walk confidently in our faith. It is a reminder that our worth is not determined by human approval but rather by the love and grace of our Lord. Prayer: Heavenly Father, I come before you today with a heart that desires to be wholly committed to you. In a world filled with competing voices and expectations, it can be so easy to lose sight of my true calling as your servant. I ask for your guidance and strength to seek your approval above all else. Help me to recognize the moments when I am tempted to seek the validation of others instead of relying on your unchanging love. Lord, I pray for the courage to stand firm in my faith, even when it feels difficult. Remind me that I am made in your image, and my identity is found in you alone. Teach me to embrace the path you have set before me, despite the pressures around me. When I feel uncertain or alone, help me to turn to your word and find solace in the assurance that you are always with me. May my actions reflect your love as I strive to serve those around me, not for their approval but from a place of genuine compassion and faithfulness. I pray for the strength to be your light in a world that often feels dark. Help me to remember that my service to you is a testament to my commitment and love for you. Thank you, Lord, for your grace and for the privilege of being your servant. I surrender my need for human approval to you, knowing that your opinion is the only one that truly matters. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
