Prayer
Father, make us a part of the fellowship of the unashamed.
Help us to remember we have Holy Spirit Power. The die has been cast We have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. We're your disciples. We won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.
Father, thank You that in You our pasts are redeemed, our present makes sense, our future is secure. We're finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colourless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living, and dwarfed goals.
As your servants, help us not to need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. Fill us with Your Spirit so that we don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. Help us to live by faith, lean on Your presence, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labour by Your power.
Father, our face is set, our gait is fast, our goal is heaven, our road is narrow, our way rough, our companions few, our Guide reliable, our mission clear. We cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. We will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the men.
We will serve you all the days of our lives, with You and Your Holy Spirit making us able day by day. Amen
