Heavenly Father, help me to be lowly minded and like-minded, in conformity to the example of the Lord Jesus, the great pattern of humility and love in service to man. He humbled Himself in suffering and death for us, not only to satisfy God’s justice, but to set us an example that we might follow His steps—bearing a resemblance to His life, since we have profited by His death. Lord, Your watchful eye brings great assurance to my heart as You lead me in the way of the righteous day by day. You watch over me in my time of recreation and in the midst of my struggles and losses. In times of temptation Your watchful eye and words of Scripture prevent me from yielding to sin. I invite You to protect me from those who seek to do evil as You watch over me day and night. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

I love your request in your prayer "help me to be lowly minded" today. Salvation through faith in Jesus' death, burial & resurrection is UNIQUELY different than the salvation He was offering during His earthly ministry. In the Gospels we find Jesus serving UNREGENERATE man. (humans) They had a need for salvation because they were unable to have "peace with God" through faith because Jesus had NOT died. We don't want to be like those who walked w/ Him, benefited from Him & REJECTED Him. His death SYMBOLIZES His provision for the forgiveness of sin once & for all. His resurrection SYMBOLIZES the rebirth he told Nicodemus about in John 3. The significance of our humility as Christians is realized as we intimately relate with Him in our flesh by faith. Our lives are NO longer the same as He revives our spirits and renews our minds daily. We don't have to EMULATE our Savior's lifestyle during His earthly ministry. Our lowly minds are cultivated & maintained through our faith in His powerful resurrection just for you & I. May God bless you w/ His grace through faith.
