Tuesday - What if you gain the world but lose yourself?

Then Jesus said to them all, "If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.  For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will save it.  What does it profit them if they gain the whole world, but lose or forfeit themselves?"  Luke 9:23-25

Prayer for today:

Gracious and loving Lord, you gave up your life for me, yet it is so hard for me to give up my life for you.  Give me strength and courage to take up the cross each day.  Draw me close on this walk with you.  Be with me as I lose my life for your sake and experience your life in me.  In your holy name.  Amen.
