Prayer - Take Up Christ's Cross

Heavenly Father,

Great are you and greatly to be praised. We glorify you, King Jesus, and honor your life, ministry, and supreme sacrifice. Surround us Holy Spirit, inspiring our worship and leading us in God’s will.

Give us the courage to take up Christ’s cross. Let us be bold in proclaiming our faith. Give us strength to leave behind the things occupying our time and consuming our resources. Show us how to become humble servants as Jesus taught.

Pour out your blessings upon us. Remind us we are your children, loved and forgiven. Open our hearts and minds to the study of your Word, constant prayer, and holy conferencing.

Let our work in your church be pleasing in your sight.

In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
