Gracious Father. We, who have experienced Your call to leadership, we stand in awe that You would call such as us. But when we study Your Word, we discover that has always been Your practice – not so much ability, but availability. For whatever reason You had in mind when You singled us out, we offer thanks. As You continue to shape us into Your image, please remind us frequently of the importance, yea the priority, of communication with You. And when we remember this, and when You respond to our intercessions and petitions, remind us to give You the praise. To You be all glory because we ask this in no other name but the name of Jesus. Amen.
