Bethany on the far side of the Jordan River

Keep doing the work God gives you where you are

Wait for a more important setting before you serve

Change locations often so your ministry feels fresh

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and need your mercy. I turn from my sin and trust you to forgive and lead me. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. Be my Lord and Savior, and teach me to follow you wherever you place me. Amen.

Come to Jesus in the Place You Are

Lord, revive your Church to be faithful in the places you assign. Keep us from chasing attention, make us steady in humble obedience, and let our lives point to you in every ordinary setting. Wake us up to serve where we are, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Revive Your People for Faithful Service

Thank God for meeting people in real places, for working in ordinary settings, and for the quiet faithfulness of servants who keep showing up.

Thank You for Real Places

Pray by naming one place where you often serve, ask God to help you remain steady there, and ask him to make your work point others to Jesus.

Pray for Steady Faithfulness

Pray for believers who serve in unseen places, that they would be encouraged, protected from discouragement, and fruitful in their steady witness.

For Hidden Servants

Lord, help me not to despise small or ordinary assignments. Give me a willing heart to serve faithfully where you have placed me, and let my life point to you, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Stay Faithful Where You Stand
