Monday: Serving wholeheartedly 

​Lead lives worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him,
as you bear fruit in every good work and as you grow
in the knowledge of God.   Colossians 1:10
 
Thank you, Lord,
that as we grow in faith
so we grow in commitment
to those you call us to serve.
  
May we serve with the love of Christ
and bring comfort that comes from God.
May we share burdens through the power of Christ
and bring strength that comes from God.
 
May we view others through the eyes of Christ
and show compassion that comes from God.
May we respond with the forbearance of Christ,
and show grace that comes from God.
 
May our faith in Christ inspire us
to lives of wholehearted service.
Amen
 

​
 




​
​Wednesday: Worship through serving


Offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God,
dedicated to his service and pleasing to him.
This is the true worship that you should offer.  Romans 12:1
 
Loving Lord,
we worship you.
We offer up our lives
as a sacrifice of praise.
 
May the works of our hands to serve others
be reflected as hands raised in worship.
 
May our words of support for the vulnerable
echo in the heavens as songs of praise to our God.
 
May each step that we take to alleviate need
be woven into dancing in the presence of our Lord. 
 
May all that we do in the service of Christ
be an offering of  true worship.
 
May our worship of God be manifest
through our lives of faithful  service.
Amen
​
​
​

​Friday: Serving with our voice
 
​To give an appropriate answer is a joy;
how good is a word at the right time!  Proverbs 15:23
 
Loving Lord,
use our voices in service
to comfort the suffering,
and proclaim the mercy of God.
 
Living Word,
give us your compassion
to speak words of comfort
to the troubled.
Lord, give us your words of life.
 
Living Word,
give us your insight
to speak words of encouragement
to the weary.
Lord, give us your words of life.
 
Living Word,
give us your mercy
to speak words of relief
to the suffering.
Lord, give us your words of life.
 
Loving Lord,
help us to follow your word
to enable our work to flourish.
May the love of God inspire us
to speak out in faithful service.
Amen 

Tuesday: Serving with love

​My children, we should love people not only with words and talk,
but by our actions and true caring.  1 John 3: 18 (NCV)
 
Lord, we hear your word;
let us be doers of your will.
 
Thank you, Lord
for showing us that love
has no boundaries or end
but listens, has patience,
compassion, grace,
and gives without counting cost.
 
Thank you for granting us
a heart for those you love,
and a willingness
to step out in faith
and service.
 
Thank you , Lord
for showing us true love
can be ours to know and give.
©John Birch
 
Loving Lord,
help us to follow your ways
to enable our work to flourish.
May your living Word inspire us
for lives of loving service.
Amen
​

​Thursday: Serving with our hands
 
You obey the law of Christ
when you offer each other a helping hand.  Galatians 6:2 (CEV)
 
Lord, we hear your word;
let us be doers of your will.
 
God, help me to cherish the last time I used my hands
to touch someone with love,
to hold someone with comfort,
to reach out to someone with compassion
to make something constructive
to place power into another’s hands
So that I may always touch, hold,
reach out, make and place;
and let my hands lead me
in a life of action
where my words may follow. 
Amen
Rachel Halsall
 
Loving Lord,
help us to follow your word
to enable our work to flourish.
May the love of God inspire us
to reach out our hands in service.
Amen
​
 Saturday: Serving Christ in every way
Now you are the body of Christ, 
and each one of you is a part of it.  1 Corinthians 12:27
 
Christ has no body now on earth but yours,
no hands but yours,
no feet but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which he must look out
Christ’s compassion on the world.
Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good,
Yours are the hands with which he blesses now.
St Teresa of Avila
 
Loving Lord,
thank you for your unfailing
love and continued guidance
as we follow in the footsteps
of our Servant King.
 
Fill us with your grace
and equip us to serve
that we may reach out
to the world you love.
Amen 
​


​
​​
Final Blessing
We go from here to serve Christ; trusting in his love to sustain us, his power to enable us and his presence to guide us, today and always.
Amen
