Prayer Point
Today we’re praying for simple faith and devotion—not just religious activity.
In Philippians 3, Paul makes bold declarations about what is truly valuable. Real meaning and joy is found in knowing Jesus Christ by the means that He alone makes possible. Read the passage below. Then use the reflection and prayer prompts below to guide your prayers.
Philippians 3:8–9
[8] Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ [9] and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith (ESV)

Reflect: What has the Lord asked you to give up in order to follow Him faithfully? Have you obeyed Him?
Pray: Ask God to give you eyes to see the value of knowing Jesus. Pray for spiritual power to reject lesser things that crowd out God's presence from our lives.
Reflect: Are you ever tempted to avoid God because of recent sin? How does being made righteous through faith in Christ affect your ability to enter God's presence?
Pray: Pray that God would empower Enon to live by simple faith in Jesus. Ask for Him to help us reject a performance-based religion in favor of a grace-based relationship with Him.
