“But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward
the goal …” (Philippians 3:13b-14a)
Jesus gave His disciples a new purpose—to share His love with the world. Paul reminds us not to get
stuck in the past but to keep moving forward, focused on the mission Jesus gives us.

Jesus. Pray together, asking for His help to keep pressing forward.

Jesus, thank You for showing us how to share Your Gospel with the whole world. Thank You for teaching us not to get stuck in the past, but to continue looking forward to what's to come. Amen.
