🙏 Lord Jesus, I want to follow You—not just in words, but in my daily life. Give me the courage to follow Christ even when the path is hard. Help me to take up my cross daily, laying down comfort and pride so I can walk in obedience. Teach me what true daily discipleship means. When fear tries to silence my faith, give me boldness to stand firm. When the world pulls me toward compromise, strengthen my resolve to honor You. I choose to deny myself and trust in Your ways, knowing that You will give me the power to walk in truth. I surrender my will to Yours. Let my life reflect what it means to truly follow Jesus daily. In Your holy name, Amen.
