Praying with Paul: 'A Channel for Your Word'

Romans 15:14-21

Dear Father,

I pray that I may be full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able to instruct others who want to know about your salvation.

Give me a share in the priestly service of your Good News to the world. May I as a believer make (and be!) an acceptable offering, sanctified by your Holy Spirit.

Help me to make it my ambition to speak of Jesus Christ everywhere to everyone. Let me love your word so much that I will either go or help others go to places where it has not yet been proclaimed.

In the name of Jesus. Amen.
