A Scripture and a Prayer: “Spirit Verses Flesh: No Contest”

“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” (John 6:63)

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank you for setting us straight so that our relationship with You is not based on our efforts, but rather, it is through the Holy Spirit that a life lived in relationship with You is possible. I thank You for the real and genuine life You have extended to each of us. Therefore, may we honor Your word, which is nothing less than truth, as it gives us faith, hope, and an abundant life with You. Empower us, Holy Spirit, to live our lives in harmony with God’s holy word. And finally, oh Lord, there is no contest—You win. AMEN
