3:24 (Colossians) “knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.”

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭24‬ 

Lord God, we lift up every functioning members of Your Body here on earth. All the pastors and teachers, the shepherds and evangelists, the apostles and prophets, the fathers and mothers, the big brothers and big sisters need You. Serving Your people is serving You. Pray for faith increasing as a shield against the accusations of the enemy. May we lay hold of the blood of our Lord Christ and continue to testify that You are Lord over all. Pray for steadfastness even when outwardly, the sowing and the watering have not produced the harvest expected. You alone cause to grow. So please Lord, cause to grow. And Lord, free us from looking to man for applause, we seek for Your smiling face alone. You are our reward. Encourage the workers. Strengthen the hands that are weak, and the knees that are feeble, and make straight paths for the feet, so that the limb which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.* 

Have mercy on Your people. And cause each member to come into their full function in Your Body here on earth. We are here for Your own good pleasure. In Jesus’ strengthening name. 

*Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭12‬-‭13‬
