Prayer

Listen for the repeated word in the Bible verses.

1.  Do I put others’ interests and needs before my own?
2.  Do I have peace or is there something robbing it?
3.  Am I loving others unconditionally or do I hold something against them?

Job‬ ‭5‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬
”Resentment kills a fool, and jealousy (envy) slays the simple. I myself have seen a fool taking root, but suddenly his house was cursed.“
1. Do I put others’ interests and needs before my own?

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭14‬:‭30 ‭NIV‬‬
‭‭”A heart at peace gives life to the body, but jealousy (envy) rots the bones.“
2. Do I have peace or is there something robbing it?

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭4‬-‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬
”Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous (It does not envy), it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.“
3. Am I loving others unconditionally or do I hold something against them?

What was the repeated word?

How do I follow Jesus?
I love others by the power of the Holy Spirit within me. I celebrate with others when they receive a blessing from the Lord. I simply receive His Love.
