Don’t be concerned for your own good but for the good of others.
—1 Corinthians 10:24 (NLT)
Loving and Compassionate God,
Save me from any self-centered tendency in me that would cause me to consider only that which is good for me!
Too often I make decisions according to what I think is best for me—with little thought to making those decisions based on what is good for others.
Help me to think about myself less, so I can think more about the people that You divinely place in my path—and what I might do that would be best for them.
Today, grant me opportunities to be more self-sacrificial—and help me to be willingly obedient to Your Spirit’s promptings, so that Christ may be glorified in me.
Save me from any self-centered tendency in me that would cause me to consider only that which is good for me!
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
