What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?
(Mark 8:36)
Pray
You say that our souls are more important than what we can gain in this life. Help us to keep this truth at the forefront of our minds as we go about our daily lives. It’s so easy to become consumed with the pursuit of success, wealth, and worldly recognition, but ultimately these things are fleeting and temporary. Grant us the wisdom and discernment to prioritize our eternal soul above all else.
Help us to find contentment and fulfillment in living a life that is pleasing to You, rather than seeking validation from the world. May we be mindful of the brevity of this life and the importance of investing in our relationship with You, knowing that this is where true joy and peace is found. Thank You for Your grace and mercy in reminding us of what truly matters.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
