Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him. “What is it you want?” he asked. She said, “Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom.” When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers. Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant. Matthew 20:20-21,24-26 NIV

Prayer to be a servant of all

I praise You, Lord Jesus, for setting the example and showing me the great value of serving others. Remind me Holy Spirit that greatness lies not in a position of recognition, but greatness in the eyes of Christ is using my gifts and talents to serve others. Help me to not grow weary in well doing. Guide someone across my path today that needs my care and assistance so they are drawn to faith in Jesus. Amen
