Would you help me view my role and responsibility in ministry as is right and good in your eyes. Help me to remember and trust you as I humble myself before you. You are God and I am not.
So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. (1 Corinthians 3:7 ESV)
I am selfish and arrogant so would you humble me and change my heart. In fact you have humbled me so would you please pick me up and heal me now Lord?
Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said: “Who is this that obscures my plans with words without knowledge? “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand. (Job 38:1, 2, 4 NIV)
For I have seen the storm and the maelstrom. In my house, my neighborhood, the ministry I try to lead.
I can say with with the author of Proverbs:
He mocks proud mockers
but shows favor to the humble and oppressed.
but shows favor to the humble and oppressed.
Proverbs 3:34
So I will try as 1 Peter 5 says
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
Father God help me to believe that you do care for me.
Lord give me a new vision and a clearer sense of my calling and responsibility.
Send me to plant, water, to sow and to reap the harvest you grow.
For have you not sent me saying:
He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. 3 Go!
Luke 10:2,3
For I am weak and weary and ready to give up. I long to hear a word from you Lord telling me it was not all for nothing, that you care and what you want me to do from here.
Amen
