Do nothing out of selfish ambition or
empty pride, but in humility consider
others more important than yourselves.

Philippians 2:3

Sometimes when we find ourselves running around taking care of business or running errands we start to feel a disconnect between ourselves and others. This could partially be due to the past pandemic and the fear people felt to keep a distance from one another. But it should help to serve as a reminder anytime we’re out shopping, exercising, buying gas for our car, or just cooking dinner, we want to remember to keep our thoughts attuned to others. Treat others kindly, if someone needs help offer it, smile and don’t be afraid to start up a conversation while you shop. Because sometimes it’s the little things that brings such a heart warming blessing.

My Prayer

Lord God, the Holy of Holies, I pray to please help me stay attuned to others and their needs without having any selfish agenda. Help me keep my eyes focused on you always while remaining humble and helpful to others. Teach me to serve, instead, of being served always with a positive spirit and joyful smile. Especially in these times of difficulty, help my light shine before others so I can be an example of what Christ wants me to be. Guide me into your obedience, humility, understanding and wrap it all up with a loving heart. All these things I pray, in the name of Christ Jesus, Amen.
