Today's life-changing text is 1 Peter 5.
Chief Shepherd,
Enable the pastors that You have called to watch over Your flock to lead eagerly and by example. Let them be satisfied by the unfading crown You will give them when You come back (1-4). Give me humility (5). Please take my concerns. Thank You for caring for me (7). Give me discernment to recognize the enemy's attacks by consistently trusting and following You (8-9). Thank You that suffering is temporary, and that I can trust You to "restore, establish, strengthen, and support" me to make me endure hard times (10). Let Your true grace be the thing for which I take a stand today (12).
