O Gracious God,
A new week lies before us and, with it, many opportunities for witness and service. Fill us, we pray, with compassionate hearts and empower us with willing hands. Help us to realize, Loving God, that faith can never be static, it must be dynamic and flowing. Faith leads us into a relationship with You, but always calls us to reach out to others. May our spiritual disciplines of prayer, study, and worship, always include the discipline of service to others. We thank you, O God, for the gift of Jesus Christ. May we be His faithful followers. AMEN.
