**Verse:**

Philippians 2:4

“Not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”

**Application:**

This verse calls us to shift our focus from self-centered goals to consider and prioritize the needs and well-being of others around us. In today’s fast-paced and often self-focused society, embracing a mindset of service allows us to reflect Christ’s love and fosters stronger, more compassionate communities. By actively seeking opportunities to serve, we not only contribute to the growth and strength of those we support, but also enrich our own spiritual lives.

**Custom Prayer:**

Dear Lord, thank You for teaching me the value of serving others. Please open my eyes to the needs around me and help me to be selfless in my thoughts and actions. Guide me to make decisions that benefit those I encounter, and let my actions reflect Your love and care. May Your Spirit cultivate empathy and compassion within me, so that my life may serve as a vessel of Your grace to others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
