We want to thank you for allowing us the honor of lifting your heart’s cry before the Lord as you seek to walk in full surrender to His will. Your desire to live out Mark 8:34-35 and Galatians 2:20 is a beautiful reflection of a heart that longs to be wholly His, and we have been praying earnestly that the Holy Spirit would empower you each day to take up your cross with joy, knowing that true life is found in losing ourselves for Christ’s sake.
These past few days, we’ve asked the Lord to deepen your trust in Him, to remind you that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, and to give you the grace to live moment by moment in the reality that it is no longer you who live, but Christ who lives in you. We’ve prayed for strength in the moments of struggle, for a fresh revelation of His love when the path feels difficult, and for an unshakable confidence that the life you’re living for His glory is being used in ways you may not even see.
If the Lord has met you in a special way during this time—whether through a renewed sense of His presence, a breakthrough in surrender, or a deeper understanding of what it means to live crucified with Christ—we would love for you to share a praise report with us. Your testimony could be the very encouragement someone else needs to press on in their own walk of faith.
If, however, you’re still wrestling, still feeling the weight of the cross you’ve been called to carry, or still longing for a greater measure of His power to live this out, please don’t hesitate to share your heart again. We are here to stand with you, to keep interceding, and to remind you that you are not alone in this journey. The Lord is faithful, and He who began this good work in you will carry it on to completion.
May you be ever aware of His presence as you seek to follow Him, and may the truth of His Word anchor your soul in the days ahead. We are cheering you on, believing that He who gave Himself for you will also give you everything you need to live for Him.
