So We Are Called

Here I am God. Please send me, please use me, please let me be the one to do Your will. Please lead me to be a leader among Your people. Not just people who know You, but people who simply are a part of my life, people in my neighborhood, my community, who are in need or who want to share in making Your creation a wholly good and wonderful place for all of us. Please help me to do this work to which You have called me. But please, God, also gently encourage me to keep focused on You as my inspiration, my hope, my desire for all that is right, honorable and just. Your voice whispers my name and I hear You in my heart. Your spirit calls to me and I answer with grace in action toward my fellow travelers. Amen.
