"First be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift."
Mt 5
Daily Prayer
Holy are You Adonai our Elohiym, for in Your love You wait on us. You trust us with Your plans and allow us to share in the bringing in of Your Kingdom. Help us in all times to trust in You and to seek to do Your will. Blessed are You Abba, be forever with us, help You’re your people to proclaim Your presence and Your saving power. May we seek to do Your will and help to bring in Your Kingdom. As we give thanks for all men and women of vision and all who have dedicated their lives in Your service. We ask Your blessing upon all preachers, ministers and teachers of the sacraments. Guide all who serve you quietly in their daily lives. We think especially of all those who struggle to serve You while surrounded by difficult circumstances and opposition. Abba YHVH, Adonai of Love and of Freedom, we pray for all who are oppressed. We ask Your blessing upon all who suffer through tyranny and terrorism. We think of all those whose freedom has been diminished through war and violence. We pray for the poor, the hungry and those who are homeless. We give thanks for our own homes and for all who love us. Teach us to show Your presence in our daily living. We pray for homes where there is neglect, lack of love, cruelty or deep selfishness. We bring before You all who live alone and those who are lonely. Adonai, You are with us, even when it is dark. We ask Your blessing upon all who are in pain or in fear. We pray for those who are ill at home or in hospital and all who have sustained injuries. We pray for those who feel life has little meaning and for those who have lost their way. We pray for those who are depressed, anxious or worried about their future. But we give thanks that in You, life is eternal and we ask Your blessing upon all who have friends, families and loved ones who passed away recently. You are merciful Abba and we ask that You come among us and make Your home with us. We pray this in the Name of our Saviour Yeshua Moshiach, amen.

Good Morning Torah Crew! ?☕️?
DEVOTIONAL
Selfish to Selfless
Our default setting is selfishness.
Don’t believe it? Try hanging out with a toddler for a day.
Toddlers want what they want, and they want it now. Toddlers will fight (and sometimes bite) to maintain dominion over their prized possessions. Toddlers have little concern for schedules, agendas, or perfectly white walls.
The good news about toddlers—and people in general—is that they have the capacity to change into selfless people as they grow. But, if toddlers aren’t lovingly redirected and taught how to consider others, that selfishness will continue.
So if we’re naturally self-centered humans, how do we train our minds not to default to selfishness?
The Bible encourages us to model our lives after Yeshua…
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Messiah Yeshua…”
Philippians 2:3-5 NIV
Yeshua didn’t leverage His authority for personal advantage—power, pleasure, control, or comfort—but took on the nature of a servant.
Yeshua spent His time investing in others.
Yeshua focused His attention on helping others.
Yeshua gave up His own life for others.
If you find yourself becoming self-obsessed, self-indulgent, or even a little self-righteous, consider asking Abba for His help.
Ask Him to help you see people the way He does.
Ask Him to use any knowledge you gain to love Him and serve others.
Ask Him to put opportunities in your path to lead others toward Him.
The Word of G-d, the Set Apart Spirit, and relationships with other believers are what refines our hearts. And with G-d’s help, we can change our tendency from living selfishly into living selflessly.
