A Litany for Ministry

Song: Control (Acoustic) - Tenth Avenue North

From the lie that rest is weak and selfish - Protect me, my Jesus

From the lie that I am laboring alone - Protect me, my Jesus

From dependence on seeing the fruits of my labor - Protect me, my Jesus

From the fear that I cannot do enough - Protect me, my Jesus

From the lie that I am nothing more than a tool and employee in Your eyes - Protect me, my Jesus

In the peace of Your presence in the midst of this storm - Hold me, my Jesus

In unity with the community You have blessed me with - Hold me, my Jesus

In faith that my work is seen and loved by You - Hold me, my Jesus

In the comfort of Your providence and care - Hold me, my Jesus

In the truth that I am Your beloved daughter - Hold me, my Jesus

To see each student as a child that You bled and died for - Holy Spirit, teach me 

To love each student as a lost sheep that You are running after - Holy Spirit, teach me 

To serve each student as an image of You on Earth - Holy Spirit, teach me 

For the gift of this call to ministry - Thank You, dear Father 

For blessing me with gifts of creativity and compassion - Thank You, dear Father 

For your abundant and endless mercies and goodness - Thank You, dear Father
