"But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God." Acts 20:24
"For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God. Therefore take HEED to yourselves and to all the flock among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood." Acts 20:27-28
Father of heaven and earth, the ONE who called into existence everything from nothing, the seen from the unseen power of YOUR WORD, it is to YOU we come NEEDY. Please form and inform our prayers teaching us always HOW to pray. We rush right into prayer without wisely asking You for formation abilities, for information and for heavenly and highly accurate requesting. We do not know how to pray as we ought. We do not know how to walk as we ought. We do not know how to think, speak, reason or feel as we ought BUT WE CAN BE TAUGHT! Please teach we Your sheep.
Help us to stay steady, unmoved by the circumstances of life, motivated to complete the task You place before us and to all the while, testify of You. Make us worthy shepherds. Help us help one another. Keep us from overstepping our job and daring to get in Your way, however, You probably want us in Your way, doing all things Your way, not our way. Yahweh, not My way or Our way.
But You know what I mean. Keep us steady, abiding, feasting, serving, praying, believing, hearing, seeing and discerning all You desire for us this day. We pray peace to Israel, that she may stop the bleeding and finally SEE JESUS. Amen.
