Prayer - Challenged to Serve

Heavenly Father,

We praise you, honor you, and glorify you, lifting our eyes to you and seeking your will. We celebrate your unconditional love and give you our worship, seeking to honor you in all we say and do.

Let our hearts be united in our desire to be Jesus' hands and feet in the world. Help us to focus our ministry on missions taking us outside the comfort of the walls of our sanctuary, challenging ourselves to be more active and uncomfortable.

When we fall short of your purpose for us, forgive us. When we fall victim to worldly pressures, set us back on the path leading to you. When we put self first and you last, wrap your loving arms around us and lead us home.

In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
