Romans 12:3-8
Lord, you call me to not consider myself more highly than I ought.
Lord the spirit is willing but the flesh is week. Selfish ambition, pride, wanting to meet expectations -> Jesus these things get in my way.
But Lord, I want to be used by you.
Encourage me not to consider my estate and weep, help me to enjoy the abundance of your grace.
Lord, stir in me gifting that will build your Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
Lord help me to be like you, you humbled yourself to the point of death on a cross, you gave up endless glory in that moment, you gave all of yourself for broken and sinful people like me.
Lord, because of this help me to use gifts in this way.
Build your church through the giving of supernatural gifts to broken sinners who recognise the need for you.
Help me I pray, in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
