Praying from Matthew 16:26. Themes: Salvation, Materialism, Sacrifice.

Help me to prioritize my values and seek fulfillment in things that truly matter. Give me the strength to resist temptation and the wisdom to make choices that align with your will. Thank you for the gift of life, and may I use it to glorify you and serve others. Amen.
