Great God of all the universe and author of every life story, bring Your favor to rest upon Your beloved children. May each appointed day of ambassadorship in Christ be fruitful and rich with intimacy in relationship with You and others. Be near those called by Your Name in moments of frustration. Let the church be infused with Your peace that surpasses all limited understanding. Add the essence of authenticity to the delivery of the gospel. Uncover the veils shadowing spiritual eyes. Through Your church let the world gain a heavenly perspective over earthly circumstances. Deliver grace with the discernment necessary for the ministry You desire from families while at work or in the neighborhood. Jesus, make Yourself known through Your people so that all can experience the greatest of joys in salvation. Make everything possible as we trust You more. Forgive our inclination to doubt, Lord, as You move individuals to step out upon the stormy waves of life. Let us look with anticipation for the joy of discovery that only comes through Your Word and prayer. Under the strength of John 1:3-5 and the authority of Christ, these prayers I set at the feet of my Savior.

Everything was created through Him;
    nothing—not one thing!—
    came into being without Him.
What came into existence was Life,
    and the Life was Light to live by.
The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness;
    the darkness couldn’t put it out.
John 1:3-5, MSG
