Servant

I am praying that God will use me as His servant by...

• loving students with unconditional love (even the VDPs...which can only be loved with strength given by God)

• challenging students to grow in their faith and in sharing their faith (stepping out of my boundaries of comfort in order to encourage them to do the same)

• loving the community (Mercy Ministries with Karis)

• showing me how my spiritual gifts will benefit the Body and growing me in the areas where I'm not gifted

I want God to show me how to be more like Jesus (Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus--Phil. 2:5-11) so that I can grow in my knowledge of God the Father and open up my life for the Holy Spirit to guide me and use me as His vessel. I want God to show me how to have patience and motivation in my life. I so often will resort to laziness or doing what I want to do instead of fulfilling what I know to be my responsibilities because I'm scared to start work on a large pile of "need to do" things when I don't feel I can finish it in the time I have open at the moment. I pray that God would remove this fear of failing so I can move towards stewardship of my time and energy that will glorify Him.
