Read Matthew 16:24-25 NIV

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. 

Lord, 

As I learn to truly be Your apprentice, I ask that You would completely reshape my heart. Clothe me in humility and help me to surrender my heart and my thoughts to Your will. Strip away the selfish parts of me until all that is left is the grace You have given me. Let that grace be the thing that people see so that Your glory can be found in the work of my hands. Amen.
