Be willing to answer when God opens a place to serve

Wait until serving becomes convenient and low-cost

Assume meaningful service is only for a few special people

Focus on private belief and let others carry the work

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I confess that I have sinned and lived for myself instead of under your rule. I turn from my sin and from ruling my own life. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I confess you as my Lord and Savior. Bring me into your kingdom and make me yours. Thank you for saving me. Amen.

Come Into Your Kingdom

Lord, awaken your Church to your call. Make us ready to go when you send, glad to work in your vineyard, and humble enough to take the place you give. Stir us out of comfort and into fruitful service, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Wake Your Church for the Harvest

Thank God for a kingdom that calls ordinary people into meaningful work, and for the dignity of serving in his vineyard. Thank him that he seeks, invites, and includes people in his purpose.

Thank You for Calling Workers

Pray by naming one opportunity to serve, one habit that makes you slow to answer, and one step that will help you stay available this week.

Pray for Readiness to Serve

Father, look upon people who feel unseen, idle, or unsure where they belong. Call them into the good work prepared for them, open doors for service, and give them courage to answer quickly and willingly, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

For Those Waiting to Be Sent

Bring to God a willing heart, readiness to obey, patience for his timing, and a desire to bear fruit where he plants you.

Growing Into Fruitfulness
