We thank and praise You, Lord Jesus, for giving us the ultimate holy example in realizing our relationship with our Father God ... even in the most menial task: "Jesus, knowing ... that He had come from God and was going to God, ... took a towel ... and began to wash the disciples' feet ..." (John 13:3-5)
Thank You, heavenly Father, for the opportunity to show Your love, the love of Jesus, to some people that have lost every material thing they have. Thank you for guiding and protecting the vehicles and their precious occupants during the long drive to Joplin on Saturday. Please continue to send Your holy angels to keep them safe and out of harm's way as they do the work You've set before them this week.
As these youth and adults work, Lord, we implore You to give them everything they need to really be the hands and feet of Jesus to everyone they serve. Holy Spirit, fill their hearts with the servant's heart of Jesus ... fill them with discernment and wisdom and love ... and guide their words and actions so that everything they say and do points people to know, love, and follow our savior, Jesus Christ.
Father God, You are in control of everything and we are trusting You to control the weather and ask for Your protection from extreme heat and other conditions that could hamper efforts and weaken human strength. In all things fill up the people serving and the people being served with with Your strength and Your energy and Your peace.
We ask all this and so much more in the mighty name of Jesus, our best friend. Amen.
