We Pray: May He SEND us on mission everywhere!

Key Scripture: Acts 13:1-3

ADORATION // You are a God who SENDS!

"I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of His robe filled the temple. And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?'" – Isaiah 6:1,8

"The disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them, 'As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.'" – John 20:21

"The LORD said to Joshua: 'Arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the people of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses.'" – Joshua 1:1-3


REPENTANCE //

"The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." – Matthew 9:37-38
Lord, forgive us for ignoring the vastness of Your Harvest. We have been self-serving in using Your Resources, especially Your People. Forgive me for not going out.

"He gave shepherds to equip the saints for the work of ministry." – Ephesians 4:11-12
 Lord, forgive us for avoiding Your call by expecting 'professionals' to do the work for us, instead of discovering and exercising Your Unique Call for my life.


INTERCESSION //

"While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." – Acts 13:2
 Lord, may our church be a place where we 'set others apart' by encouraging their gifts and callings instead of 'putting others down' through our criticism.



MEDITATION //

 Barnabas and Saul were set apart not just for work, but to be with God in the first place – 'for
Me'. In our performance driven culture, how does this passage challenge any work for Him?

RESOURCE //
The Moravians provide us with an inspiring example of prayer, presence and being sent.
