Praying for Our Church | Day 13

Praying for our Behind-the-Scenes Workers

Lord, I lift up the people who work behind the scenes at our church. Thank You for every nursery worker, parking lot attendant, office volunteer, building janitor, etc. who has devoted themselves to the service of the saints. Bless them for the obedience and generosity they have displayed— may You receive praise as a result! Keep them in an attitude of humility that comes from wisdom and whole- hearted service to You rather than to be noticed by others. (1 Cor. 16:15; 2 Cor. 9:12-13; Jas. 3:13; Eph. 6:7)

1 Corinthians 16:15

Now I urge you, brothers[a]—you know that the household[b] of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints—

2 Corinthians 9:12-13

For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God. 13 By their approval of this service, they[a] will glorify God because of your submission that comes from your confession of the gospel of Christ, and the generosity of your contribution for them and for all others,

James 3:13
Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.

Ephesians 6:7

rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man,
