Lent Day 7.
That’s what prayer accomplishes when you start receiving an attitude adjustment.
Having a Jesus-mind means others interests come before my interests.
Self seems less important;
Living a Jesus-like-life is more…
It’s no wonder this verse comes before the passage I printed out yesterday.
So, this morning, as I journaled, I asked the Lord to give just one “other” to focus on each day in prayer until Lent passes. I randomly wrote down a category of people-I-know as thoughts came to my mind. Here’s my list:
March 7th (today): Those who’ve recently lost a loved one.
March 8th: Your pastor and his family.
March 9th: Our President and his family.
March 10th: Our national government leaders.
March 11th: World leaders.
March 12th: Our military and their families (selfishly, would you pray for our son, Adam & his family).
March 13th: State and local government.
March 14th: Our police men and women.
March 15th: Firefighters.
March 16th: Teachers and administrators.
March 17th: People who serve you daily (postal workers, grocery store clerks, bank tellers, etc).
