Prayer based on Luke 17:9. Themes: Obedience, Gratitude, Faithfulness.

Dear God, help me to remember that doing what is expected of me is not something to be praised for, but rather a responsibility that comes with being your servant. May I always strive to go above and beyond what is asked of me, not for recognition or reward, but out of love and devotion to you. Amen.

Verse: Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.
Luke 17:9

This is a Command. The verse is a rhetorical question posed by Jesus to emphasize the importance of obedience to God’s commands. It implies that simply doing what is expected of us does not warrant special recognition or reward.
