14 Days Of Prayer For The Persecuted Church

Day 5 Ukraine:

1) Read - Luke 9:57-62
57 As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” 58 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” 59 To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 60 And Jesus[a] said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” 61 Yet another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home.” 62 Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”

2) Think About - What kind of sacrifice is asked of us to be followers of Christ?

3) Pray - Pray for those who must choose between Christ and their families; that they will be encouraged by the knowledge that they are now in the family of the Lord.

4) Act - Share today's devotional prayer on Twitter.

I love that video and yes it really does sum up what kind of sacrifice it takes to follow Jesus. We need to be willing to sacrifice ANYTHING because He is all we need. So much easier said than done though!!
