Daily Morning Prayer: Embrace Sacrifice: Thursday Morning Prayer to Lose Your Life and Save It – October 23, 2025

"For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it." — Mark 8:35

As we step into this new day, let us be reminded that true life is found in surrendering ourselves to God's will. By letting go of our own plans and desires, we open ourselves to the abundant blessings and purpose that God has in store for us. May we have the courage to lose our lives for the sake of the gospel, knowing that in doing so, we find true fulfillment and joy.

Heavenly Father, help us to release our grip on our own ambitions and dreams, and instead, embrace wholeheartedly the path you have set before us. May we find strength in sacrificing our own desires for the sake of your kingdom, and trust that in losing our lives for you, we will truly find life.
