Read Proverbs 9
Wisdom’s Invitation
Life is full of choices. Proverbs 9 paints two paths—one led by wisdom, the other by distraction. Jesus invites us to a life of wisdom, one where we trust Him more than our own understanding. So, what voices are shaping your decisions today?
🙏 Prayer: Jesus, help me choose wisdom and follow You. Amen.

A Heart That’s Changed
Jesus reminds us that what really matters isn’t just our outward actions—it’s what’s happening in our hearts. Following Him isn’t about looking the part; it’s about letting Him transform us from the inside out. Where do you need God to do some work in your heart today?
🙏 Prayer: Jesus, change me from the inside out. Amen.

Trusting Even When We Can’t See
Jesus had already provided for His followers, yet they still struggled to trust Him. It’s easy to do the same—forgetting what He’s done when a new challenge comes up. But faith isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about trusting the One who does.
🙏 Prayer: Lord, help me trust You fully, even when I can’t see the full picture. Amen.

Read Mark 9
The Power of Serving
The disciples were caught up in who would be the greatest, but Jesus flipped the script: real greatness comes from serving. Our culture tells us to focus on getting ahead, but Jesus calls us to lift others up. Who can you encourage or serve today?
🙏 Prayer: Jesus, give me a heart that serves like You. Amen.

What’s Holding You Back?
A rich man walked away from Jesus because he couldn’t let go of what he loved most. Jesus wasn’t after his money—He was after his heart. We all have things we hold onto tightly. What’s keeping you from fully saying “yes” to Jesus today?
🙏 Prayer: Lord, help me let go of anything keeping me from fully trusting You. Amen.

God’s Love Never Runs Out
Life is unpredictable, but God’s love is constant. His love is deeper than the ocean, stronger than any fear, and bigger than any mistake. Whatever today looks like for you, you can rest in this—His love will never run out.
🙏 Prayer: God, thank You for Your love that never fails. Amen.

More Than a Crowd Moment
Palm Sunday—the crowd cheered for Jesus as He entered Jerusalem. But just days later, many of those same voices turned against Him. Following Jesus isn’t just about the exciting moments; it’s about choosing Him every day, no matter what.
🙏 Prayer: Jesus, I don’t want to just follow when it’s easy. Help me stay faithful. Amen.

Love God. Love People.
When Jesus was asked what matters most, His answer was simple: Love God with everything you have and love people well. It’s easy to overcomplicate faith, but Jesus brings it back to the basics. How can you live this out today?
🙏 Prayer: Lord, help me love You and love others well. Amen.

Jesus tells His followers to stay alert, to live ready. It’s easy to get caught up in distractions, but what if we lived each day like it truly mattered? What’s one step you can take today to focus on what lasts?
🙏 Prayer: Jesus, help me stay focused on what really matters. Amen.

Trusting When It’s Hard
Before going to the cross, Jesus prayed, "Not my will, but Yours." It was a moment of deep surrender. Sometimes God’s plan is different from what we expect, but we can trust that His way is always best. Where is He asking you to trust Him today?
🙏 Prayer: Father, help me trust You like Jesus did. Amen.

The Weight of the Cross
Tomorrow is Good Friday. On this day, Jesus carried the weight of the cross—for you, for me, for all of us. The cross was painful, brutal, and unfair… but Jesus chose it. He gave His life out of love for us. Let’s pause and reflect on the sacrifice He made.
Today is the start of 21 Easter services happening across all Cypress campuses. Please join us in praying that many will come to know and experience God in a real and personal way.
🙏 Prayer: Jesus, thank You for giving Your life for mine—and for every single person You created. Amen.
