A Scripture and a Prayer: “A Living Example”
“Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.” (1 Timothy 4:12)
Prayer:
Lord, please help me not to harbor a spirit of offense, so that do not become offended by the actions, attitudes, and words of others as to my fitness or ability to serve You as You have called. Instead, let my attitude and language towards others, and how I conduct myself by faith and in moral purity be an example of Your love towards me, and then of Your love for others. For You have truly called me to walk in Your ways, honoring You in all that I do. And this I ask in Jesus’s holy name, AMEN
