...for a wide door

for effective work

has opened to me,

and there are

   many adversaries.

      1 Corinthians 16. 9

(Doors surround us

to minister to others

and to live out the gospel

in all that we do

and the choices we make.

Are we aware and ready,

   shoes tied on,

when the doors are cracked

     or wide open

     with a welcome mat?

And are we conscious of

distractions, reluctance

     and our own excuses?

God redeems every action

      and every word

for the furtherance of His kingdom.

Even that which

           we are unaware.)

O LORD,

Help us to be fearless for You

in ministering to others,

aware of both visible

    and invisible struggles

    all around us.

Use us for Your kingdom today

that we may know You more

and make You known.

Redeem every action,

every choice,

every word,

every prayer,

every kindness

to love others right to You.
