Key Text: Luke 9:23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.” Reflect and pray: Jesus demonstrated the ultimate sacrifice through His death on the cross, calling us to follow Him by denying ourselves and surrendering fully. True sacrifice always comes at a cost, often requiring us to let go of something we deeply value in order to trust His greater plan. Prayer Prompt: Lord, show me where I need to surrender and give me the courage to trust that Your plans are always best.
