Have you ever struggled with what work you’re called to do?
Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God…. 2 Corinthians 5:20
Heavenly King,
Many of us struggle with knowing our calling
and purpose here on this earth.
We’re not sure which job we’re meant to do,
or when we should retire,
or if we’re meant to not work outside the home
at all in this season.
As we begin this “work week,”
show us that we all have a role to play
in your heavenly kingdom.
You have given us a title,
“Ambassador for Christ,”
and with it comes both privileges and responsibilities.
We are called to share the good news
of your peace treaty with others,
to implore others on behalf of Christ the King—
be reconciled to God.
We are called to protect the citizens of your country,
to point them to their safe place in Christ.
We are called to be compelling representatives of you,
the King, in this foreign country of the world.
One day, we will gather together
with all who serve and worship you
in your heavenly kingdom,
the new heavens and the new earth.
Meanwhile, we seek to do your will
in carrying out your kingdom plan.
Energize for us this work this week,
and show us where you would have us go
with your message.
In the name of Christ our King we pray. Amen.
Read 2 Corinthians 5:14-21.
