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 has nothing to do with our efforts, but rather it is through the Holy Spirit so that a life lived in relationship with You happens. And so, Lord, 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 brings 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 in the end, Oh Lord, there is no contest, You win. AMEN
