Hi, friend. I'm so grateful you've joined me on the Jesus Over Everything show. If you haven't heard the news, we have gone retro this summer. For the months of June and July, we are featuring our five word prayers daily. The show, this show started as, and so many of you love so much, five-minute podcast shows on topics of all kinds, the short inspiration you need for every day of the

week. So enjoy these shows, keep listening all summer, and see you right here back in August for

a powerful season six.

Hi, and welcome to the Five Word Prayers Daily, a five-day-a-week daily devotional where we share the word prayers in our heart.

I'm Lisa Whittle, and I welcome you to just five minutes with me, which I trust and pray will be five minutes well spent.

Still, we're still thinking about ourselves. It still has the same root of I'm thinking about me.

At the core of all that is humans wanting to be important. And honestly, it's a flush thing that all of us

will fight, I believe, on this side of heaven the whole way. And only God can help us break it down
