A Prayer For When We Feel The Need To Prove Ourselves

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2295449/fan_mail/new] A Prayer for When We Feel the Need to Prove Ourselves Loving God, Free us from the need to prove our worth and the pressure to produce. Remind us that your love is freely given and not earned. Free us from demanding that others prove themselves before we recognize their worth. When we are tempted to measure human value by accomplishments, remind us that our worth is inherent. May we freely give the love we have freely received. Amen.  #60SecondsofHope #DailyPrayer #EveningPrayer #Prayer #Inspiration #Encouragement #SpiritualEncouragement #SpiritualGrowth #faith #hope #FaithandLife #HopeforToday Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2295449/support]

We Don’t Have To Prove Ourselves

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2295449/fan_mail/new] We Don’t Have to Prove Ourselves Sometimes we feel pressure to prove ourselves. To prove that we’re successful enough. Capable enough. Good enough. And sometimes we place that same burden on others. We expect people to earn our respect. Earn our acceptance. Earn our love. But the witness of scripture points us in a different direction. Paul reminds us that while we were still weak, while we were still far from who we were created to be, God’s love is already being poured out for us. (Romans 5:6-8) Not after we prove ourselves. Not after we get everything right. Not after we become worthy. But now. Love is not a reward for achievement. It is a gift. And the invitation is for us to freely give what we have freely received. We don’t need to prove ourselves worthy of love. And we can stop demanding others do so as well. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

When We’re Really Going Through It

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2295449/fan_mail/new] When We’re Really Going Through It Sometimes we find ourselves in crisis so deep that it’s hard for us to know when or if we’re going to make it through. In these moments we are reminded to remain steady and be encouraged that we will make it through. “…But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” — from Matthew 10:22 “Endures” (ὑπομείνας / hypomeinas) here means to be steady, consistent, and persistent in the face of pressure. We don’t allow ourselves to get swept up in the chaos of the moment. We stay centered regardless of what is happening around us. “Saved” (σωθήσεται / sōthēsetai) here means preserved, made whole, and delivered. It is the assurance that although things may not be alright, they’re going to be alright. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

A Prayer For When People Are Against Us

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2295449/fan_mail/new] A Prayer for When People Are Against Us Loving God, When people are against us, help us not be consumed by anger, fear, resentment, or disappointment. Free us from the cycle of revenge, retaliation, and retribution. Let our lives not be defined by who we oppose or by who opposes us. Instead, help us focus on who we are called to be and what we are called to do. Help us make the world a better place, and be a blessing to those we meet.
