But I am among you

    as one who serves.

               Luke 22. 27

(That is why God has

       appointed us here

in this exact place,

in this moment in time,

among these people

    to serve, love

    and be a witness.

What God places before us

  sometimes is not

             what we would have chosen,

but in His love and His strength,

          we can be faithful to Him in it,

approach, navigate and do it

    for His name's sake and glory.

Not "have to,"               

                    but "get to.")

O LORD,

Please lay Your day before us.

Help us to follow You into it.

Grant to us the wisdom and vision,

          strength and courage,

to walk in Your name,

to love others,

to not see interruptions

         but opportunities to serve You.

Even in our serving,

   help us to trust You in this

and bear Your name.

Help us to be known

     as one who serves.
