Acts 1:14~These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
Everything changed when Jesus rose from the dead. The women who stayed true to Him through His death on the cross and His resurrection are there, praying in obedience. As we might have guessed, Jesus' mother is also there praying. But if you look closely, you will see that Jesus' brothers, who once doubted and made fun of Him, are now praying for the Holy Spirit to come and give their risen brother power. They are waiting, but they are not just standing around. Yes, they pray, but they also look forward to the great work that the resurrected Jesus will do through them. When people who love the risen Jesus pray with hope, God does wonderful things. So, why don't you just do it? Join a group of people who love Jesus and pray with the hope that God will use you to do His work.
My Almighty and All-powerful God, please bless my efforts in encouraging others to join me in ardent prayer. Please bring revival among those who call upon Your name and stir up those who are hungry but unaware of their need for Jesus. We pray that You will bring revival to Your people and a flood of grace to those who need to know Jesus as their Savior. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

I pray that you would help heal any places of brokenness or discord in my friendships, and that you would restore any friendships that have fallen apart.
Like your Word says in Colossians 3:12-13, may I clothe myself in compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. May I be patient with my friends, and may I forgive freely like you have forgiven me. May I shine your light in my friendships, giving glory to you through all that I do, say, and think. Thank you for my friends, Jesus. Thank you for the ways they build me up and remind me of your goodness and faithfulness. In your name I pray, Amen.

Bible Verses About Serving GOD
As followers of Christ, we have a calling to serve others as a fundamental part of our Christian life. This calling isn’t exclusive to church leaders; it extends to every believer. Each act of service, no matter how small, is a testament to our faith and an opportunity to be Jesus’ hands and feet in the world. We remind ourselves that serving is not merely a duty, but a joyful expression of our love for God and others. The Bible verses about serving remind us of the many ways we can share kindness and compassion, reflecting Christ’s love through our actions every day.
Mark 10:45
“For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.” – Mark 10:45

1 Thessalonians 5:11
“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:11
Serving with Love
When we talk about serving, love is at the core of it all. Serving without love can feel empty, but when our hearts are filled with the love of Christ, our actions become meaningful and impactful. The Bible teaches us how to serve others with kindness, generosity, and compassion, mirroring the love God shows us. Each act of service is an opportunity to express this love in tangible ways, whether it’s through small acts of kindness or more significant sacrifices. We keep in mind that loving service reflects our understanding and acceptance of God’s love for us.
John 15:12
“This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.” – John 15:12

1 Corinthians 16:14
“Let all your things be done with charity.” – 1 Corinthians 16:14
The Spirit of Humility
Serving requires humility; it calls us to put aside our pride and desires to elevate the needs of others above our own. Jesus exemplified this during His time on Earth, often serving those considered the least significant by society. Through the Bible verses about serving, we learn that true greatness comes from a humble heart willing to serve. As we strive for humility, we also recognize the incredible strength it brings to live in service to others, allowing us to build genuine relationships and foster community. It is through this humble service that we mirror Christ’s love and character.
Matthew 23:11
“But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.” – Matthew 23:11
James 4:10
“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” – James 4:10
Philippians 2:3
“Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.” – Philippians 2:3
