Heavenly Father, As we gather together on this Monday morning, we are filled with gratitude for the powerful word you spoke to us yesterday. Your presence was tangible and your truth penetrated our hearts. We are hungry for more of you, Lord.

As we reflect on your word, we are reminded of Paul's testimony in Philippians 3:10-15. He pursued you with such fervor and considered everything else as loss compared to the surpassing worth of knowing you, our Savior. Father, ignite that same passion within us. Help us to press on towards the goal of knowing you more deeply and intimately, leaving behind the things that hinder us.

Lord, we surrender our plans, worries, and burdens to you today. We long to follow your will for our lives and walk in your ways. Help us to keep our eyes fixed on you and not be distracted by the things of this world. May our pursuit of you be evident in our actions and attitudes.

We ask for your wisdom and guidance as we navigate this week. May we be your hands and feet, sharing your love and truth with those around us. Help us to live out Philippians 3:15, by being open to correction and constantly growing. Help us to have a teachable spirit, always willing to learn and improve. Give us the humility to accept constructive criticism and use it to better ourselves. In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
