A prayer for you

Prayer for Church Volunteers

For the often-unseen people who keep a church running.

As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.
1 Peter 4:10 (WEBBE)

Lord, we thank You for the volunteers who keep our church running, so often unseen and unthanked. Your word says each of us should use our gifts to serve one another as stewards of Your grace; bless these faithful servers who do exactly that. Sustain the ones who set up chairs, greet at the door, care for children, and clean up after everyone has gone home. Guard them from burnout and resentment, and remind them their hidden work is seen by You. Help our church notice and thank them rather than take them for granted. Renew their joy in serving, Lord, and reward the labour of love that holds this community together. Amen.
