I periodically get really tired and have thoughts that it sure would be nice to retire and take it easy. As soon as those thoughts pop into my head, I pray, “Lord, would You give us 2020 people coming each weekend by the end of the year 2020. Lord, Your desire is that none perish so please use me and our church to reach lost people and to make disciples. O Lord, please give me increase and bless the work of my hands. By focusing on the need and the vision expressed in a clear goal I get motivated and passionate about working and doing whatever it will take to accomplish the goal. I pray, “Lord, I can’t do this in my own strength, would You fill me with Your Spirit, please and give me the strength to do all I need to do to be a growing church. Give the wisdom to know what to do and say in every situation You Sovereignly put me in.
