A Morning Prayer

Bill Hybels was the final speaker at the Willow Creek Leadership Summit. 

He talked about how the local church is the hope for the world. 

That is me.  That is you. 

We are the church. 

We are the hope of the world. 

He ended by inviting us to pray a prayer for thirty days. 

I am still praying this prayer. 

I would invite you to join me in praying this prayer at the start of each day. 

Download it here.  Print it out.  Place it by your bed. 

Begin the day by offering God your best. 

***

Grace and peace be ours in abundance as we recognize what a privilege it is to build the church with our gifts, talents, and energy.  May God grow us and change us as we place all we have, all we are into His hands, trusting He will accomplish much more than we would if we held tightly to these things.
