For this prompt, a verse came to mind:

1 Peter 2:21

To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His steps.

By following in Christ’s steps, you’re pattering your life after Him. But what does this look like?

1. We are to love God with all of our hearts and minds (Matthew 22:37)
2. We are to love one another. (John 15:12)
3. We are to love our enemies. (Matthew 5:43-45)
4. We are to be the light to the lost. (Matthew 5:14-16)
5. We are to expose the lies of Satan and share the Truth and Gospel (aka the Good News). (1 Corinthian 4:5; Romans 10:14-15)

Prayer To Follow the Example of Jesus

Dear Father God, thank You for sending Jesus, Who was the great example of a man Who walked in spirit and truth and Who waited upon God. A man with a servant-heart and a desire to do Your will. Thank You for Jesus, Who throughout His life, demonstrated Himself to be a person that would wait on You in every situation and do only those things that He heard from You.

Father, in the power of the Holy Spirit, I pray that I too may learn how to wait on You and quietly rest in Your will. Lord, I want to be emptied of self so that I may be filled with You.

Thank You that Jesus is our worthy example as well as being our Redeemer and Saviour. And because Jesus is now my life, I pray that I may live as He did;

A life that is led by the Spirit.

A life that walks in spirit and grace.

A life that seeks to do Your will.

A life that waits in patient expectation on You.

For to You belongs all power and wisdom and majesty and strength, and without You I can do nothing. Help me to follow the example of Jesus and it is in His name I pray,

Amen.
