EACF 40 Days of Prayer 2019
Day 8: For a heart to serve others
Today we pray for servants' hearts. In our world servants are considered to be beneath those whom they serve. Jesus Christ was born into a carpenter's household, not a king's palace. His social status was poor, but because of His love, His power, and His message, He transformed the world. Following Jesus in this call to serve the Lord and serve others is not popular, but it is where we encounter Jesus. But beware: it's not about how good we are at serving but rather how we are experiencing and expressing Christ through serving. Pray for a servant's heart, pray to see the needs of others, and pray that God would use you to help all those around you, freely, excellently, selflessly, and joyfully.
“For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another." - Galatians 5:13 ESV
"For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” - Mark 10:45 ESV
"But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” - Luke 10:40 ESV
