Today's Passage: Ephesians 5:22-33

Today's Prayer:
Oh Lord we love you.

We praise you. 

You loved us, your bride, the church, and gave yourself up for us. 

You sanctify us, cleansing us with the washing of the water with the word. 

Because of you, we are holy and without blemish. 

Lord you know the word submission brings out a lot of feelings. 

Submission is the opposite of what the world preaches. 

But Jesus you submitted to your Father – don't let us forget that. 

When we feel too important or grand to submit to you and your will, 

remind us of your prayer in the garden "yet not my will, but yours be done." 

When we feel too important to submit to one another, 

remind us that you are calling us to holiness and humility – because you are holy and humble. 

Thank you that you Lord that have taught us what it means to lay down our lives for another. 

You don't call us to anything you haven't experienced. 

We can trust you. 

You are worthy to be followed and we praise you. 

Amen.
