A Prayer for Many Occasions

Whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave of all. (Mark 10:43-44, NASB)

God, what should I do with this free time?
I am Your servant.

I tend to get preoccupied with my own plans, Father.
Forgive me.
I am Your servant.

I’m feeling overwhelmed and confused, God,
but I look to You and rely on You.
I am Your servant.

I face a decision, and I don’t know which way to go.
Lead me, Lord.
I am Your servant.

Father, I feel for that person.
I sense their need, but
I don’t know how to help them.
Use me.
I am Your servant.

I am Yours, my Lord.
I am listening.
I am available.
I am Your servant.

I Am Your Servant

Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. (Mark 10:43-44, NIV)

Pray this simple prayer in all kinds of circumstances:

When you have time in front of you that is not yet spoken for;

When you are preoccupied with your own plans;

When you find yourself overwhelmed and confused;

When you don’t know which way to turn;

When someone is in need, but you don’t know how to help them.

Remind God, and yourself, that You are His, that You are open and listening to Him, that You are always available to Him.

God,
I am Your servant.
