Prayer based on Luke 17:7. Themes: Hospitality, Servanthood, Humility.
Dear Lord, help me to always remember the value of hard work and the importance of serving others. May I never take for granted the blessings you have given me, including the ability to work and provide for myself and others. Help me to be humble and grateful, and to always be willing to serve others with a joyful heart. Amen.
Verse: But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say when he comes in from the field, ‘ Come immediately and sit down at the table’?
Luke 17:7
This is a Command. The verse is a rhetorical question that implies the expectation of a master for his servant to finish his work before sitting down to eat.
