To Follow the Example of Christ


For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you.

—John 13:15 (ESV)


Heavenly Father,


Help me to follow the perfect example of Your Son, Jesus Christ.  Grant that I would reflect His heart more perfectly, speak His Truth out of love, offer His grace with compassion, and emulate the humility of His servant leadership with others.


Thank You for the gift that You so graciously gave to us, when You sent Your Son, Jesus Christ, to come and walk upon the earth among us—as an example for us all.  Help me to pattern my life after His life of service to all those around Him.

Help me to walk in His humility—having set aside of all my pride—that I might not consider anything You ask me to do to be beneath me, but joyfully and obediently embrace any opportunity You give me to be a part of what You are doing.

Help me to love as He did—as His compassion stirs my heart and I respond with appropriate Godly action. May others experience Christ’s love—as I allow it to flow into me and through me—that You would receive all of the glory!


Help me to follow the perfect example of Your Son, Jesus Christ.  Grant that I would reflect His heart more perfectly, speak His Truth with love, offer His grace with compassion, and emulate the humility of His servant leadership to all.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
