Lord God,
You are a good and faithful Father, and there is no one like you. We are in awe of your power and majesty, and desire to live our lives in a manner worthy of the calling you have placed on our lives. Today, we thank you for that calling we have been given, as well as for those with whom we live, work, and interact. We thank you for the shared partnership and ministry in proclaiming your Word as we boldly share it with those around us so that more people will come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior and become fully devoted followers. We also thank you with the confidence that you will bring our work to completion and see to it that no matter if we plant the seed of your Word, help nurture and cultivate it, or help bring it to full harvest, it will take root and do its work in the live of those around us to whom we minister.
We pray now the words of the apostle Paul in his letter to the church in Philippi, thanking you for our calling and ministry, as well as those with whom we partner:
“I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”
We thank you for all you have done for us and continue to do in our lives each and every day. We pray this all in Jesus’ holy name, Amen.
