Letting God Redefine Success | Your Nightly Prayer
What if success in God’s eyes looks very different from success in the world?
Wealth.
Influence.
Achievement.
Recognition.

None of those things are automatically wrong—but they can become dangerous when they become the measure of our worth or the purpose of our lives.
Tonight’s Your Nightly Prayer is an invitation to let Jesus redefine greatness.
Tonight’s Scripture
“Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.” — Matthew 20:26
Jesus consistently turned the world’s definition of success upside down.
He did not tell His disciples to chase status.
He told them to serve.
Not to earn God’s love.
Not to build a spiritual résumé.
But because love expresses itself through service.
Sometimes that service is public.
More often, it is ordinary.
Serving your spouse.
Helping a neighbor.
Encouraging a coworker.
Making time for someone in need.
Choosing people over recognition.
Tonight, ask God to reshape your ambition around what matters most to Him.
