On Our Way

On their way, someone came up to Jesus and said, “I want to follow You wherever You go.” Jesus replied, “Yes, but remember this: even animals in the field have holes in the ground to sleep in and birds have their nests, but the Son of Man has no place here to lay down His head.” Jesus then turned to another and said, “Come be My disciple.” He replied, “Someday I will, Lord, but allow me first to fulfill my duty as a good son and wait until my father passes away.” Jesus told him, “Don’t wait for your father’s burial. Let those who are already dead wait for death. But as for you, go and proclaim everywhere that God’s kingdom has arrived.” Luke 9:57-60 TPT

Lord, in light of all of this, I want to take a moment now to ask You to help us see what we might to need to lay down. What do we need to leave behind so that we can pick up our cross and follow Jesus in fully devoted discipleship?Please open our eyes God and then please give us Your grace and the strength that we need to obey.  We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray deliverance, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
