Heavenly Father,
We give thanks to you with grateful hearts for our many blessings. When we are weak, you are strong. You are our refuge and our stronghold in times of trouble. We know that you never forget those in need, and we are thankful for opportunities to bring glory to your name by serving others.
Thank you for all the leaders who faithfully steer and guide others through mission work with Genesis Community Partners:
- Dorcas Ministries
- The Carying Place
- Habitat for Humanity
- Hats for Duke
- Kingswood
- Honduras Missions
- Chatham Commons
- Brooksdale
Thank you for the many friends, family, and members of Genesis who fund and do hands on work for these missions during the year, as well as during our July 2022 “Serving Sundays”.
Light of the world,
Help us to follow you, having your mindset in our relationships with others. As individuals, teach us patience as we serve, looking to the interests of others rather than our own selfish ambitions or vain conceit. As a church body, enable us to be like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. (Philippians 2:1-5)
Holy Spirit,
Continually open our eyes and ears to the needs of others; do not let us drown our minds in the dreary news of the day. Each day, show us where we can step in to aid the weak, the poor, the hungry, and the troubled. Alert our heart to specific times and places where we can love our neighbor as ourself and do some work to bring praise to your glorious name.
Amen
