We would do well in ministry to remember who it is we serve before we overmuch worry about what we are doing . The Lord Jesus is Lord of the harvest; he will raise up men and women to represent his interests and advance his Kingdom anywhere and among anyone whom he chooses. He alone lays the cloak on . Psalm 75.6-7 - For not from the east or from the west and not from the wilderness comes lifting up, [7] but it is God who executes judgment, putting down one and lifting up another. After reciting and/or singing the Nicene Creed (located in the Appendix), pray the following prayer: Eternal Lord God whose servants, the ministers of your Church encounter many difficulties and temptations in the course of their work: Sustain them in their vocation replenish themwith the truth of the gospel and keep them faithful in prayer: Grant that in the issues of our day they may lead with courage and wisdom and guide them by your Spirit in their ministry to the diverse needs of men; through Jesus Christ our Lord. ~ The Church of the Province of South Africa.
