Psalm 3

When people make fun of me for believing in you, Lord,
I deeply remember how you are my help and my shield.

Even when the whole world seems against me,
I can go to bed and sleep easy, knowing that you protect me.

O Lord, please rescue me from people who plot against me.
Lord our savior, please bless everyone who needs help.

Lord, thank you for your protection and help

I Corinthians 4

You now have many people teaching you about Christ, 
but remember that it was I who introduced you to Jesus and his Good News

Imitate my example, the way I live the Christian life

Jesus, help me be a good example to other people

Mark 8

One day Jesus asked his disciples
"Who do people say I am?"

The disciples replied
"Some say you are one of the famous prophets".

Jesus then asked them "And who do you say I am?"
Peter answered "You are the Christ".

Jesus then explained to them
how he must go to Jerusalem to suffer, die and rise from the dead.

He also said
"If you want to be my disciple, you must deny yourself,
take up your own cross, and follow me.

Selfishness will ruin your life.
Self-sacrificing will bless your life.

What use is it to have everything in this world
yet miss out on Heaven?"

Jesus, please help me find my life by losing it in service of others
