Psalm 51:10

Mighty Servants of God. Sticking points come in many forms. Relationships. Temptations. Conflict. Self-control. Trying to do things in our own strength. Edging God out—of life, leadership, and goals. The allure of this world and all that it holds. Stubbornness. Pride. Fear. Being wise in our own eyes. Not trusting others. All of us have sticking points, those places where we struggle to put into practice Jesus’ model of love, life, and leadership. What is yours? How is it holding you back?

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. – Psalm 51:10

Prayer: God, I need a pure heart and steadfast spirit that can only come from You. Holy Spirit, wash away the sticking points in my life. Apply the truth of God’s Word and the forgiveness freely given by Jesus. Show me how to remove and repair these sticking points in my ability to love, live, and lead like Jesus. In His name I pray, amen.
