The ministry staff at River Oaks is going through Bill Hybels’ book, Just Walk Across the Room as part of our weekly staff meeting. It is a fantastic book on making friendship connections with people who do not yet know Christ as Savior. In the chapter that we discussed today he included this prayer that he tries to pray every morning. Here it is: “My life is in your hands, God. Use me to point someone toward you today – I promise to cooperate in any way I can. If you want me to say a word for you today, I’ll do that. If you want me to keep quiet but demonstrate love and servanthood, by your Spirit’s power I will. I’m fully available to you today, so guide me by your Spirit.”

I’d like to offer a challenge to begin praying a prayer like this at the start of your day for the next two weeks and see what happens. If anything does, let me know!
