Weekly Prayer #41

This week I finished reading Müller’s book Answers to Prayer, which describes how, throughout his ministry, he never told others about his physical needs, yet God provided for all of them—and even more.

This had a profound impact on me. The main goal of my ministry is to awaken people’s consciences and enable them to exercise them. I believe that true graciousness leads people to give willingly and proactively—to even search for needs to meet—rather than waiting until someone asks.

This is the 41st weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for being faithful to George Müller, so that I can read how gracious You were to him and to these orphans. I believe You are the same God who takes care of Your children’s needs in this city.

Just as truly humble people never say they are humble, truly gracious people never say they are gracious. Dear Lord, I pray that people in this city would be sincerely gracious in helping others and would not wait until someone asks. Help Your children understand that when we were still in bondage to sin, You laid down Your life for us. May this love be the center of this ministry.

And let people see that this graciousness is not due to us, but to You in us, so that they might be moved by the Holy Ghost and begin to grow curious about You.

Please continue to humble us, so that we can be used to demonstrate that You are a loving and just God.

In Jesus’ precious and mighty name, I pray and receive.

Amen.
