To Carry out My Ministry
Heavenly Father,
Sundays are sacred. As I gather with fellow believers in worship to be served by you with your rich gifts of grace and forgiveness, I pray that your service to me would equip and inspire my service to others. Involve me in every way possible in the mission and ministry you call believers to carry out. Use my unique talents and abilities to advance your kingdom and to stretch the gospel’s reach as far as possible. Make my service a blessing to others, and make me an example worth imitating as I go about your work. When I am frustrated or discouraged by the lack of results, let my joy be found in the privilege of doing your work, regardless of how big or small the task is. Lead me also to be a leader of others, so that you might raise up an army of godly Christian men who are zealous for ministry.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
