Make Them Ready

How often do you pray for your team? Jesus prayed for his, "Make them ready for your service through your truth; your teaching is truth” (John 17:17, NCV).

There are seasons when service comes easy, and then there are seasons when it gets buried under all of life's distractions. You know the feeling, like there just doesn't seem to be enough time or enough energy. If you've felt it, chances are someone on your team has also.

On any given Sunday, there's most likely someone on your team that's struggling with conflict. Jesus knew that for his team to stay strong and focused, they needed to fix their eyes on the truth. So he prayed for them. Do yourself, your team, and your God a favor and pray.

Father, as I take this time to be with you, I'm humbled by the honor it is to serve you. Lord watch over our team and care for them as they maneuver through the week. Handle us with your unswerving love. Feed us with your word. Strengthen us with your wisdom, and bless us as we prepare for the moment of leadership this weekend. Amen.
