My Prayer

I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in Him, bears much fruit; for without me you can do nothing. (John 15 1:17. )

Lord, I acknowledge the fact that it's not easy to follow you. Its not easy to serve you. Along the way. I know that I will stumble and fall. I will experience many hardships but with your grace and your presence I'm hopeful that I can serve you through this ministry.

As you said in order for you to grow greater in my heart, I must grow smaller. In other words, in order for you to increase, I must decrease. Sometimes I am impatient with what is going on in my life. I also have a tendency to boast what I have accomplished but then I know that you are teaching the essence of humility. That being humble is better than being proud.

The call to serve the ministry is an enormous or daunting task but I know that I can also serve by just LOVING. As you said in the book of Ephesians, "Follow Christ by loving as He loved you." Grant me Lord, the grace to love the LOST, the LAST and the LEAST. Remind me always to share your abundant blessings to others who need it the most.

Lord, grant us all good health, strength, and wisdom for us to continue serving you and others. I know that I have to give up worldly things but I am assured with your love and your promise that you wil never leave us nor forsake us as long as we are with you and you are with us. AMEN.
