To the Cross We Go

Once again, I lay down my pride, my time, my resources. Once again, I lay down my money and what I think I need. I lay down my entitlement, my need to be known and wanted. The need to be significant and the need to be heard. I lay down my relationships and what is out of my control. I lay myself down at the foot of the cross. 

Help me, Holy Spirit, to be discerning of how to use my time and resources. Help me to discern who to reach out to and who to walk alongside. Help me to pray for my church and for Pastor Peter, regardless of this moment when both have parted ways. Help me to serve and love unconditionally. And as I near my 28th birthday, Lord, help me to enter this next season of life reflecting more and more of you.
