Lord, I'm ready (Col 4)

Lord, I come to you today, devoting myself to prayer with an alert mind.  I'm ready to receive whatever you have for me to do.  Also, I thank you with a devoted heart for supplying all my needs according to your riches and golry in Christ Jesus.
     I pray for my Christian brothers and sisters.  Give them many opportunities to preach about your plan--that Christ is for all people.  I pray for us all to proclaim your message as clearly as we should.
     Give me wisdom among those who are not christians and make the most of every opportunity.  I pray that my conversations will be gracious and effective so that I will have the right answer for everyone.
     Lord, make me strong and perfect, fully confident of your whole will.  Give me directions to carry out the work you give me.
