A Prayer Inspired by Matthew 25:40 | Bible 101 Devotional
As we reflect on the words of Jesus in Matthew 25:40, “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me,” let us be inspired to lift up a prayer that embodies His love and compassion.
Dear Heavenly Father,
– We thank you for the reminder in Matthew 25:40 that serving others is serving You. May we always have a heart of compassion and empathy towards those in need, remembering that every act of kindness is a reflection of Your love for us.
– Help us to see those around us through Your eyes, recognizing the inherent dignity and worth of every person we encounter. May we be quick to extend a helping hand, a listening ear, or a word of encouragement to those who are struggling.
– Guide us in finding creative ways to serve others, whether it be through volunteering at a local charity, donating to a cause we are passionate about, or simply being present for someone who needs a friend.
– Grant us the courage to step out of our comfort zones and engage with those who are different from us, knowing that in doing so, we are following in the example of Jesus, who welcomed all with open arms.
– Fill us with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, that we may be a light in a world that is often filled with darkness. May our actions speak louder than our words, pointing others towards You and Your endless grace and love.
– And finally, help us to always remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 25:40, that whatever we do for the least of our brothers and sisters, we do for Him. May this truth guide our thoughts, words, and actions each day.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
