A Prayer For Our Service Team
Dear Lord, we witnesses stand before you in humble faith to always remember to reach out to others who are in need. Please continue to give us the strength, courage, wisdom and patience to lovingly serve and help the poor, the homeless, the destitute, the old, the sick, the hurt and all who have none to care for them. May your Holy Spirit continue to powerfully guide us to compassionately comfort those who are broken in mind, body or spirit; to joyfully enhance the quality of their lives; and to prayerfully offer them the Gospel's eternal hope. We thankfully do all of this in your Holy name. Amen
