As One with Jesus' Authority

This morning was spent on Matthew 10, and here is a prayer on that passage:

Lord, grant me Your authority to truly do all You would have me do. I want to be a part of the wholeness and restoration ministry of those hurting and ill.

Let me go to all places to boldly proclaim You and Your saving grace. Let me truly be shrewd like a serpent, but innocent as a dove in doing Your will.

I ask not for safety, but salvation. I ask not for protection as much as power to faithfully and fruitfully serve.

Let me be a witness in front of all people, regardless of station or status, for You will provide the words to share with all through the power of Your Holy Spirit.

I fear not arrest by men as I fear being arrested by doubt or pride.

I know the worth I have in Your loving eyes, and that exceeds the low that others, even in my own family, has placed on me.

I seek to serve Thee for the reward of Your love and grace both now and for all eternity.

In the Name of He Who died for me, Jesus my Lord, amen.
