Lord God,

I confess that I often feel insignificant in your church,

And I don’t believe anything is special about me,

I know that there are so many much more gifted brothers and sisters,

And it feels like there is little I can contribute in ministry,

I also lack the confidence to step out and serve others,

And I fear that even when I do, it will only end in failure,

Yet Lord, I thank you that no member of your church is insignificant,

And just like each of my brothers and sisters, I have been uniquely made and gifted,

I thank you that my service in your church does matter to you,

Not because there is anything special about me,

But because you are a gracious God, and in your wisdom,

You designed your church in a way where each of us serves and needs one another,

I also thank you that it is in my weakness that your strength shines through,

And in the past, I am reminded that so often you have chosen the weak people,

To work out your good purposes,

By your Spirit in me, no work will be impossible,

So Lord, I pray that my weaknesses and fears,

Would not lead me to make excuses to be idle or passive in your church,

But that you would continue to convict me of the power of your Spirit within me,

And lead me to seize the opportunities I have to serve you,

Please help me to explore the spiritual gifts you have given me,

And open my eyes to see the needs within your church,

Build me in a compassionate servant heart,

And make me eager to serve you in every way I can,

I pray that you would also inspire me with the creativity,

To find new and helpful ways to serve others,

But as I dare to step out into new ministry territories,

Help me to know that you will go with me,

Please empower me to do the good works you have prepared for me to do,

Knowing that your power at work in me,

Is the same power that brought Christ back to life from the grave,

And raised him above all things to sit at your right hand,

So may I not be inhibited by my fears of not meeting expectations,

Or become overwhelmed by the responsibilities that lie before me,

But remind me that the outcome of my ministry does not depend on me,

And that only you have the power to change hearts and save people,

I am ultimately just an instrument in your hands,

As you continue to unfold your grand story in our lives,

So Lord, please help me to be faithful to you now in serving your church,

For you are always faithfully doing your good work in and through me.
