John 17:17-18
At the Last Supper, Jesus prayed, “Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.”
Jesus, you are praying, you are calling.
Open our hearts to what you want us to do. Guide us in our “yes” and “no” to opportunities that we may choose your sending above all else.
Jesus, you are praying, you are calling.
Open our souls to the mission that is beyond what we can do without you- your vision, your compassion, your presence, your intervention.
Jesus, you are praying, you are calling.
Open our lives to your inspiration and blessing. Sanctify us in your truth. Grant us a double portion of wisdom and unity and courage. Strengthen us beyond ourselves to accomplish the saving work you place in our hands.
For the victory of your love and grace we pray.
For the glory of your name we follow. Amen.
