Day 19 | Study - Others - Loss
The dictionary definition of study says, “the devotion of time and attention to acquiring knowledge on an academic subject”. It also says, “especially by means of books”. Sister Teri and I believe that for the Christian, it boils down to the study of the book, THE BIBLE!!! If we know what this book says, we will have no problem with the other concepts on today’s prayer list.
- Pray that we study to rightly divide the word of truth (2 Tim 2:15)
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
- Pray that we look out for the interest of others (Phil 2:4)
Philippians 2:4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
- Pray that we do not lose the things we have worked for (2Jn 1:8)
2 John 1:8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

Others
Lord, let me live from day to day
In such a self-forgetful way
That even when I kneel to pray,
My prayer shall be for others.
Others, Lord, yes, others;
Let this my motto be.
Help me to live for others
That I may live like Thee.
