To Uplift and Encourage Others at Church

Heavenly Father,
Sundays are sacred. Since I am always uplifted and encouraged by your Word in worship, I pray this morning that you also use me to encourage and uplift others. Spur me on to step outside of my normal circle of friends to meet and greet someone new. Let my lips be filled with complementary words of kindness. While I don’t know the details of all the stress and strain your people bring with them into your house each week, I can remind them of the peace you came to bring that surpasses their every trouble. When worshippers leave your house this morning, let them do so not only filled up with your Spirit, but also cheered on by their fellow believers, including me.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Spread Kindness

Kind Father,
As one who is fully aware that I am on the receiving end of your underserved and never-ending kindness, showing kindness to others should come naturally to me. But often it does not. Sometimes it may be due to my own sour spirit or mood. Other times, I am so preoccupied, busy, or focused on myself that I am not even thinking about others, let alone being kind to them. Forgive me and free me from my self-centeredness. 

Grant me a greater measure of your grace to be more focused on others. Reveal to me all the ways over the course of a single day that I can extend acts of kindness, both big and small, to others. Through words of affirmation, thoughtful gestures, and acts of service for others, let your kindness spread through me. Use it to bring smiles, brighten days, and broadcast joy whenever and wherever needed.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
