Dear Lord, we acknowledge that our commitment to You is so shallow. We say we love you, but our actions betray us.
Open our eyes so that we see time and eternity and You see them. Forgive us for forgetting we are only strangers and pilgrims on earth.
How foolish we are, O Lord, to store up treasures on this earth and fight to save our lives and preserve them, when You tell us we will lose our lives if we try to do that.
We ask You, dear Lord, to forgive us and help us to walk in Your footsteps--forsaking all, denying ourselves, carrying our crosses daily and loving You supremely so Your causes might be furthered in this dark and dying world.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
