My Prayer for us all who are patiently waiting:
FATHER,
We understand the end and culmination of all things is near. Therefore, being of sound-mind and self-controlled for the purpose of prayer, we stay balanced and focused on the things of God so that our communication will be clear, reasonable, specific and pleasing to YOU.
Above all, we are learning to have fervent and unfailing love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins for it overlooks unkindness and unselfishly seeks the best for others.
We purpose to be hospitable to one another without complaint.
Just as each one of us has received a special gift, a spiritual talent, an ability graciously given by YOU, we employ it in serving one another as is appropriate for good stewards of YOUR multi-faceted grace, faithfully using the diverse, varied gifts and abilities granted to us by YOUR unmerited favor.
Whoever among us speaks to the congregation of believers, is to do so as one who speaks the oracles, that is the utterances, the very words of spoken to us by YOU. Whoever serves the congregation of believers will purpose to do so as one who serves by the strength which YOU abundantly supply, so that in all things YOU may be glorified, honored and magnified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever.
Amen.
