Sweet Jesus,

I give you permission to override me when my flesh casts me smack in the middle of drama. Get me off of that stage as quickly as possible and back into your lap. Come Holy Spirit and teach me how to live and move and have my being in the presence of my all loving and merciful God. I don’t trust my mind or my tongue, that too often speaks what’s on my mind. Help me to take every thought captive and make it obedient to you. HELP me, I’m sinking. Today, now moving forward I give more authority to your strength, wisdom and love within me than to circumstances around me. I am YOUR ambassador for your GLORY, make your appeal for love and mercy in this world through me. Here I am Lord, SEND ME OUT.

Learning Objective: Understand what Jesus meant when He said we need to give up everything to follow Him.

Scriptures: Luke18:18-30 | Luke 14:33 | Zechariah 4:6 | Galatians 5:1, 2:20

Dear Lord,

Everything? Help me to tune into the attachments I have in my life that prevent me from experiencing the fullness of joy, purpose and inner peace you died to give me. Fill me with the grace to release what I have been clinging to in my life for a sense of purpose and identity. Help me to receive you in my mind, will and emotions. I want to emerge from this time of sheltering in place with a resurrected sense of connection to you, and you alone. I am willing to believe that I will never be left empty handed when I surrender all that I am into all that you are. I want freedom in you moving forward.

Questions to Reflect on: Jesus is stopping by today. He asks you to leave everything and to come and follow Him…what is the first thing that pops into your mind that you would want to go back and get or take care of before following Him?
