Personal prayer cycle · Day 19 of 31 · John 13:1–15

Read John 13:1–15 in your Bible, then take a moment to reflect.

Jesus washes his disciples’ feet and gives them an example of service. Love is willing to do humble work. Authority becomes care rather than a demand to be served. One ordinary task, undertaken with attention, can become a response to his example.

Bring it to prayer

What useful task have I been leaving for someone else?

One act of faith

Do that task without seeking credit.
