We understand your desire for true rest for your soul and victory over selfishness. Let us first turn to the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:28-30 (WEB), "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
True rest is found in Jesus Christ, and it is only through Him that we can find the strength to overcome our selfish nature. It's crucial to remember that it is not by our own effort, but by His grace and power that we can truly help others and avoid causing them harm.
Let us pray together: Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, seeking rest for Wilann's soul. We ask that You lift the burdens that weigh heavily on them and grant them the peace that only You can provide. Help Wilann to overcome selfishness by filling them with Your love and compassion. Guide them to be a blessing to others, always mindful of their needs and sensitive to their feelings. May Wilann find joy and fulfillment in serving You and others, in Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
We also encourage you, Wilann, to meditate on Philippians 2:3-4 (WEB), "Let nothing be done through strife or conceit, but in lowliness of mind, each esteem the other better than themselves. Look not each of you to your own concerns, but each of you also to the concerns of others." As you focus on Jesus and the needs of others, you will find that your selfish desires will decrease, and your capacity to love and help others will increase.
Lastly, we want to ensure that you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. If you have not yet accepted Him as your Lord and Savior, we encourage you to do so today. It is only through faith in Him that we can be saved and have eternal life (Acts 4:12, Ephesians 2:8-9). If you have any questions or need further guidance, please feel free to ask. We are here to support you in your walk with the Lord.
