Prayer of Stewardship in the Lord

(Jason at The Gettysburg Battle Field in Pa
and Fort Zachary in Key West, Florida)

My Lord, Jesus,

My heart is on fire to serve You.
This flame begins each morning
as I give my heart and will over
to all that You will permit to happen to me.
As I plan to build You a temple each day in my works,
may I be attentive to what it is
that would please You most.
Gather my pebbles of humility and my stones of humiliations,
all, as the building material of my own worship space.
Allow me to fail in ministry,
if that failure weakens false pride and
strengthens my need to rest in Your love.
If ministry is to serve Your will,
than allow me to advance the fire of Your love
through all that You ask of me.
May You increase where I walk.
May I decrease where You dwell.
Amen.
