Acts 20 & 22

Lord, I do not account my life as precious to me; if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I have received from you, Lord Jesus; that is to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.   That I would believe and live out, and then declare things that are profitable, the whole counsel of God, that is repentance towards God, the Father, and faith in the Lord Jesus, the Christ.

I commend myself and those whom you have given me, Lord, to God the Father and to the word of your grace, which is able to build each of us up and to give us the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

I believe that the God of my fathers has appointed me to know his will, to “see” the righteous one and to “hear” his words. I am to be a witness for him to whomever he sends me to and to whomever is sent to me. By your grace, Lord, I will live and preach your grace.
