Lord Jesus, we pray that for your sake we have the heart, the strength, the courage, to lose our lives. Help us eradicate all the things in our earthly life that take us away from you, that pull us away from your call to mission. We trust that our journey to follow you will allow us to bring joy, comfort and love to others, satiate the deepest desires of our heart for meaning, belonging, and acceptance, and ultimately lead us deeper into love with you, the Author of Life, in whom we will find life in its fullest.
