Jesus,
it’s hard to comprehend just how privileged we are.
You have chosen us as your students, your disciples,
and you want us to fully mature
as teachers of your Word and Way.
No matter what our job, our career,
and the daily tasks we embrace,
you want us to follow your Way
and represent you in every encounter we have.
Please help me to spend
some of my best time each day
getting to know you better.
Help me learn how to love as you loved
and be an instrument of your love to others.
This I ask in your name,
you who live and reign with the Father,
and the Holy Spirit,
world without end forever and ever.
Amen.
