Message:
Jesus, Your life demonstrates what servant leadership looks like. Although You could have commanded that Your disciples serve You, You spent the last twenty-four hours before Your death serving them. Thank You for leading by example. Thank You for showing me what true humility and love look like. Today, please help me to live like You. I want Your will to be done. Amen.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I come before you with a humble heart, seeking to embody the spirit of servant leadership that Jesus exemplified. In a world that often prioritizes power and status, remind me to value the grace of serving others. Help me to understand that true leadership emerges not from exerting authority but from a genuine commitment to uplift and support those around me. Lord, may I recognize the moments in my daily life that provide opportunities to serve, whether it’s through a kind word, a listening ear, or a helping hand.
I am grateful for the example set by Jesus, who, in His final hours, prioritized the needs of others above His own. It is a profound revelation that makes me reflect on my actions and intentions. Help me to shed any tendencies towards arrogance and pride, and instill in me a deep sense of humility that mirrors Your endless compassion. Let my actions be a reflection of Your love, showing those around me that they are valued and cherished.
As I navigate my daily life, allow me to perceive each interaction as a chance to demonstrate kindness. When faced with challenges, grant me the strength and patience to respond with grace. May I always strive to see others through Your eyes—recognizing their struggles, celebrating their successes, and supporting them in their journey. Teach me to be slow to judge and quick to offer understanding and assistance.
In every prayer I lift up, in every action I take, guide my heart towards Your will. Help me to cultivate a spirit of selflessness, filled with unwavering love and support for others. I long to be a vessel of Your peace and goodwill in a time that can feel divided and chaotic. May my life serve as a testament to the transformative power of Your love through acts of service. Thank You, Lord, for hearing my prayer. Amen.
Jackie
