You have been given the privilege of serving Christ, not only by believing in him, but also by suffering for him (Philippians 1:29; GNT).
I offer my sickness, my pain,
My depression:
I offer them, Yahweh,
Today.
I offer them willingly, Yahweh,
For others:
Please comfort and heal them,
I pray.
Please strengthen me, Father,
To suffer for others:
Like Christ, my example,
And way.
To this you were called, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving an example for you to follow in his steps (1 Peter 2:21; NET).
Jesus told him, “I am the way” (John 14:6; NLT).
