Day 25: Use Me to Touch the Lives of Others

Nobody should seek his own good,

but the good of others.

- I Corinthians 10:24

.
Lord, help me to serve You the way You want me to. Reveal to me any area of my life where I should be giving to someone right now. Open my eyes to see the need. Give me a generous heart to give to the poor. Help me to be a good steward of the blessings You have given me by sharing what I have with others. Show me whom You want me to extend my hand to at this time. Fill me with Your love for all people, and help me to communicate it in a way that can be clearly perceived. Use me to touch the lives of others with the hope that is in me.
.
Help me to give to You the way I should. I don't want to rob You of anything that is due You. Lord, I know that where my treasure is, there my heart will be also (Matthew 6:21). May my greatest treasure always be in serving You.
.
Lord, show me what You want me to do today to be a blessing to others around me. Specifically, show me how I can serve my family, my friends, my church, and the people whom You put in my life. I don't want to get so wrapped up in my own life that I don't see the opportunity for ministering Your life to others. Show me what You want me to do and enable me to do it. Give me all I need to minister life, hope, help and healing to others. Make me to be one of Your faithful intercessors, and teach me how to pray in power. Help me to make a big difference in the world because You are working though me to touch the lives of others for Your glory.* In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
.

Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others,

faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.

If anyone speaks,

he should do it as one speaking the very words of God.

If anyone serves,

he should do it with the strength God provides,

so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.

To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

- I Peter 4:10-11

.

Those who are wise

will shine like the brightness of the heavens,

and those who lead many to righteousness,

like the stars for ever and ever.

- Daniel 12:3
