Dear Heavenly Father,
Give me the courage to proclaim your goodness to a lost world. Don’t let my pride hinder your merciful plan be released to needy people. If you call me, let me be audacious, resolving to follow your every direction with fervency. Then give me the resources to go to others, who are languishing. Give me opportunity to share your Word, so others can receive hope. Give me disciples who will partner with me, with a desire to reach the lost. Give me favor with people so opportunities open for your Word to spread. Give me more and more hope, more and more vision, and more and more blessing, so you receive more and more glory.
Let me not forget my family, trying to follow a big vision. Let my vision be my family first, then let your vision be theirs also. Let your influence flow into the hearts of my spouse, my children, and others, so we are a legion that moves together to accomplish the ministry you have charted for us. Let me lead with humility. Let me follow your vision, your call, your will, so other can witness the special blessings that come with obedience to your leading. Let our obedience be seen, so observers can believe, that they too can make much of you, charting a similar vision for your glory. May our obedience transform others.
We pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
