Be Trusting & Eternal Minded
Mathew records many crucial
incidents from Jesus’ life in Matt
16-19. Though Christ takes time
to heal an epileptic boy, pay His
temple tax and confront hostile
Pharisees, His primary concern
is for His disciples, who will
continue the work He had begun.
Healings and discourses, miracles
and parables all focus on Jesus’
faithful followers to prepare them
for the difficult days just ahead.
Lord, we’ll Trust & Eternal Minded:
Little children were brought that
He might put His hands on them
& pray, but disciples rebuked them.
But Jesus said: Let the children
come to me. Don’t stop them! For
the Kingdom of Heaven belongs
to such as these. And He laid
His hands on them (Matt 19:13-15).
The young man said. What do
I still lack? Jesus replied: Give to
the poor & you will have treasure
in heaven. Then come, follow me.
When the young man heard this,
he went away sad because he
had great wealth (Matt 19:20-22).
Lord, help us to adopt the
attitude of a child who readily
come to You in simplicity of faith.
Help us teach spiritual children
to go to You in times of need
and times of praise to trust You
with every part of their lives.
We will be Your hands and feet
and show us how to bless them
as U would. In Jesus’ name, Amen
Lord, help us to Be more People-
centred rather than thing-centred
Help us to get rid of a mindset
and lifestyle that revolve around
material things & temporal minded.
Rather help us to trust in You
and be more eternality minded
and to further Your Kingdom.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
Father God, You sent Christ
Jesus to be our Master and King.
And we your pple purpose to
be Community of Your kingdom.
Grant us grace to be Forgiving
even as you’ve freely forgiven us.
Help us be People-centred,
Generous and Eternal minded.
We ask your grace to do above,
for apart fr U we can do nothing.
