Dear Father, thank you for equipping each one of your followers for meaningful service to You. You are so patient with me, full of mercy and underserved grace. Please forgive me of my sins, and my failings to serve You as You would have me to do. I pray for conviction to carry out whatever is your will, your specific purpose for my life. Please give me an unquenchable desire to shine the light of your Spirit to those who don’t know You. I pray for the courage and the wisdom to speak your truth to those around me who need to hear of Jesus’ love & saving power. Amen.
