Philippians - Living in the WordSample
Prayer Direction:
In these verses, Paul teaches us that accepting Christ as our Savior is not a mere one-time event; rather, He is the foundation upon which we should continually build our lives. Following Jesus means engaging in a life of continual pursuit with a desire to grow closer to Him. As our roots grow down deep into Him, we know Him in a more intimate way. This deeper relationship increases our faith and causes our lives to naturally overflow with gratitude.
Prayer:
Thank You, Jesus, for Your love for me. Instill in me a desire to pursue You daily and grow in my knowledge and love for You. Forgive me for the times I have built my life on things other than You. Help me recognize the moments when I stray, and lead me back to Your path where my roots grow deeper in You. Jesus, You are my greatest treasure; it’s my heart's desire to know You in a deeper and more intimate way.
