Dear Heavenly Father,
We come to you this day, recognizing that you are the answer
to life’s most perplexing dilemmas, the satisfaction of our deepest needs, the
fulfillment of our greatest longings, and the reward of our brightest
hopes. You are our all in all.
Father, we are living in days of great physical, social, and
spiritual need. Sometimes it is
overwhelming when we look at the vast array of human need and suffering and
measure it against our limited resources.
But your reserve Heavenly Father is endless and so we come to you and
beseech you on behalf of all the social services that are offered in this
community for your blessing, as we seek to love our neighbor as your Son Jesus
taught us. Father we thank you for His
example of self-less giving to those who were hungry, sick, disabled, mentally
and emotionally tormented, outcast, wounded, lonely, those crumbling under the
weight of guilt and sin, and those without hope. Fill us with your love, compassion, grace and
strength to truly make a difference in this community.
Father, we ask for your provision of resources to meet the pressing
needs in this community. We thank you
for those who are serving in various ways around us and for the joy of being
involved in meaningful work. We ask that
you would raise up more volunteers who would commit to taking a few hours out
of their schedule each week to give back.
Bless their efforts, Father. We
also ask, for your material and financial provision for the work that needs to
go on. Pour out your blessing on those
who are so generous to give of their time, talents and resources as it is a
reflection of your giving nature.
Father, I ask that you would send your encouragement that lose who labor
to reach out in your name may not become weary in doing good, but persevere
until the harvest comes.
And finally, Father, we commit ourselves to being your hands,
feet, heart and words to our neighbors.
Use us to help lead others to you, the only One who is able to fully
meet our deepest needs. May the glory and
honor for any good that is done in this community be attributed to you. May your Name be lifted high.
In the precious Name of your Son, Jesus, we pray. Amen
