Prayer based on Luke 9:24. Themes: Sacrifice, Salvation, Faith
Dear God, help me to understand that holding onto my life and my own desires will only lead to loss. Instead, may I have the courage to let go of my own will and desires, and surrender my life to you. Help me to live for your sake, even if it means sacrificing my own comfort and security. I trust that in losing my life for your sake, I will ultimately find true and eternal life. Amen.
