Ephesians 4:1-16 - God’s Good Gifts

Father, may we live worthy of our calling.

United, humble, gentle, patient, filled with love.

May we be united in purpose,

United in worship,

United in trust,

As we unite in our devotion to you.

Thank you for giving us Word ministers;

And making us a part of your body.

May your people embrace ministry and service,

Build each other up,

Fight for unity,

Strive for knowledge,

Aim for maturity,

Speak the truth in love,

As we live for your glory alone.

Amen.

Amazing God, Amazing Plan

Father

You have included the gentiles;

Made us fellow heirs;

Members of and sharers in the promises of Christ Jesus.

You have shown us your wisdom and plan in the church,

According to your eternal purposes in Christ Jesus.

May we not lose heart over our suffering, the suffering of the church, and the suffering of your heralds.

May we believe in the church, love the church and live for your bride.

Ever thankful of your mercy to us in Christ
