Questions for Philippians 2:5
3) The key to relationships among believers is to have the same mindset as Jesus. Well, focusing on anything else is lesser than Jesus. Sometimes, believers focus on others or what they can get out of the relationship. They will focus on power, culture, prosperity — anything of the world essentially.
4) Jesus’s mindset/attitude tells us that God insanely loves us (more than we could ever know). He is compassionate towards us. He protects us, leads us, and guides us. He is our Father, too! God cares about our well-being and prosperity, and He is there for us no matter what.
5) I need to not be selfish. I need to be more humble. I need to put others’ needs above my own. Heavenly Father, help me to be less selfish, to put others first, to be more humble, and to do everything with an eye towards you and how you would do things, rather than how I would do things. Help me to get out of myself and realize I am here to do your will and good, not mine. Thank you, Lord, for always being there to guide and protect me as I walk this difficult life path you have set out for me. Thank you for your love, compassion, support, and strength. Thank you for everything!
