Prayer based on Matthew 20:28. Themes: Service, Sacrifice, Redemption.

Dear Lord, help me to follow in the footsteps of your Son, who came not to be served but to serve. May I have a heart of humility and a willingness to serve others, just as Jesus did. And may I never forget the ultimate sacrifice he made, giving his life as a ransom for many. Thank you for your love and grace, and for the example of Jesus. Amen.

Verse: even as the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Matthew 20:28

This is a Command. The verse commands the reader to serve others, just as Jesus did, rather than seeking to be served.
