God's Pleasing Servant - Friday Praise & Pray (for others) July 17, 2026
The term "people pleaser" has become popular in our modern lexicon. A people pleaser is someone with an inherent need to please other people and receive their approval. Such individuals avoid conflict and often do not establish healthy and godly boundaries with those around them. They could even put themselves in situations that the average person would avoid, all because they don't want to upset others.
From a Christian perspective, the main problem with being a people pleaser is that the pleaser puts the happiness of people above the concerns of the Lord.

ALTAR CALL
If you are yet to give your life to Christ, don't let this moment go by without doing so. And if you've backslidden and are living as you like instead of how God wants you to, now is the time to recommit.
It is time to repent and return to the Lord. It is time to commit yourself to living by His word and submit to having Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
Look, the video below will do a better job explaining things than I can, and it's only 8 minutes long. Yup, there are no cliff notes, please just watch.
If you watched the video to the end and said the prayer at the end, then welcome to being a child of God! You are now a born-again Christian! I pray you receive the Holy Spirit and are led in the ways of the Lord. Send me a message letting me know you said the prayer. I'll send you more materials so you can grow as a new creature, washed clean and restored.
Regardless, please make prayer a regular part of your life. It is simply you talking to the Lord. Also, please start reading the Bible and ask God to make it come alive for you. It holds all the answers you need. You can start by reading the Epistle of John, the Book of Acts, and the Book of Romans. Get water baptized as quickly as you can and ask God to lead you to a church of His choosing.
Congrats and God bless you!
