Goal: To share the Lord’s bounty with beloved believers
Scripture: 1 Peter 4:8-10
“Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. As each one has received a gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.”
Prayer:
Wow, Lord! There’s such joy in serving others, and I’m happy to be able to invite others to this home You’ve given us. You’ve lavished Your bounty upon us, and we seek to share with the church. I pray, Lord, You will grant us favor with those we invite to our home. Favor that they would say yes and would allow us to serve them with good food and godly conversation. We love these people and want to bless them. Help us to extend this hospitality always without seeking anything in return.
I pray for You to grant us success in the preparation of our house – that it be clean and clutter-free so everyone is comfortable and undistracted. I pray the food we serve will be hearty and healthful. Again, Lord, thank You for this provision, that we have plenty to show our love to others as we share.
I thank You and bless Your holy name.
Amen
We can pray for godly success in so many areas of our lives; the above are just a few highlights. My prayer for this is to successfully bring glory to the Lord as you are edified and encouraged. As you pray for success, remember what the Apostle Paul said in 2 Corinthians 1:19-20, “For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we proclaimed among you, Silvanus and Timothy and I, was not Yes and No, but in Him it is always Yes. For all the promises of God find their Yes in Him. That is why it is through Him that we utter our Amen to God for His glory.”
