Romans 15

Lord God, I thank you for the local body of believers that you have placed me in. I pray I will be strong in your spirit and that I will minister to others for their good and for their edification.

I have your heart for hospitality and service. Deliver me from selfishness and laziness for even you, Lord Jesus, did not come just to please yourself.

Father, your Holy Spirit is wisdom in me. Your word is learning for me. Through the patience and comfort of your scripture, I have sweet steadfast hope.

You, the God of patience and comfort, fixed my mind up on the Son of Man so that I, along with all your people, glorify you with one mind and one mouth.

I sing to your name, Father. I rejoice in you. I praise you, and you, the God of hope, fill me with all joy and peace in believing, and I abound in hope by the power and in the person of your Holy Spirit.
