Discovering the Abundant Life

“If you try to keep your life for yourself, you will lose it.  But if you give your life to me, you will find it.”  (Matthew 16:25)

Father, thank you that you offer me full and abundant life.

Yet, too often I miss it trying to give it to myself.

Fill me with your life,

All that you promise,

All that you give.

Help me to trust in you to fill me with it,

Instead of trusting in myself to add to it.

I look forward to living in that abundant life you promise,

And will praise you as I enjoy it.

Amen
