A Prayer

Father God, 

renew our spirits by Your Holy Spirit, 

and draw our hearts unto You this day, 

that our work may not be a burden, but a delight; 

and give us such a mighty love for You that our obedience may be sweet. 

Let us not serve with the spirit of bondage as slaves, 

but with cheerfulness and gladness, 

as children, 

delighting ourselves in You and 

rejoicing in Your desires for the sake of the Kingdom. 

In Jesus Name, 

Amen.
