Prayer – To Love And Serve
We are called to love as Christ loved us and to serve as Christ served us. Our love for others is our grateful response to the love God first demonstrated to us. Our love demonstrates the love of God to others.
When you serve others, you are serving God. When you do it for them, you’re doing it for him. Every time you serve, God sees it. Every time you help others, it doesn’t go unnoticed. When you are at work, work as to serving the Lord. And know that the Lord will reward you.
However, don’t look for people to pay you back. Most people may not even say “Thank you”. You may think you are not getting the credit you deserve. Some may even claim your service as their own! But Your Father in Heaven will reward you.
In Matthew 20:26, Jesus said if you want to be great in the kingdom, it’s very simple. You have to serve other people. Are you willing to reach out and help others? Do you have a serving heart?
Proverbs 19:17 says ” Every time you give to the poor you make a loan to the Lord. Don’t worry— you’ll be repaid in full for all the good you’ve done.”
And Matthew 25:45 “Then he will answer them, ‘Don’t you know? When you refused to help one of the least important among these my little ones, my true brothers and sisters, you refused to help and honor me.’
Let us Pray
Almighty Father, We thank You for Your great salvation plan for mankind and Your beloved Son, Lord Jesus Christ, who came into this world as a living sacrifice. In all His time on earth, He laid His life upon Your will, and loved and served the world.
We pray Father, that we become great examples of our Lord Jesus. May we love and serve those around us who need our services and offerings of love.
In Your great love, You saved us from sin and condemnation, and we thank You for this.
We pray and pledge that we will walk with love. May we be of service to as many as we can in our lives as You called us to be, as is the Father’s will.
Lord, help us to love beyond measure, without expectations and limitations, those who need our love.
Lord Jesus, we love You Lord with all our heart, mind and soul. We heed Your call to feed Your sheep. We heed Your call to look after Your people who are scattered in darkness, abandoned, lonely and shunned by the world.
Help us Lord Jesus, as we prepare ourselves in Your service, to endure all things. May we give our time, effort, resources and our love, in Your blessed name, Amen!
