Here is a video of today’s prayer: Every life
In humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus (Philippians 2:3-5; NIV).
May every life
Be like the life
Of Christ:
With joys, temptations,
Faith,
Self-sacrifice;
Trials and sorrows,
Troubles,
And distress;
Torment and anguish
Offered up for others;
Pain, and death.
He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross (Philippians 2:8; NKJV).
