Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favor that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace. - Martin Luther

10 Days of Prayer - Day 7

Day 7 Tuesday, November 1st - Our pastors and staff
But we appeal to you, brothers and sisters, to respect those who labor among you, andhave charge of you in the Lord and admonish you; esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves. And we urge you, beloved, to admonish the idlers, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with all of htem. See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all. - 1 Thessalonians 5:12-15

Thank God for those who serve among us as their occupation. Name these people by name. Ask that God's spirit might sustain these people in their work, and might fill them with the joy of the gospel as they work with us. Ask that the members of the congregation might honor them for their work's sake, and might keep them in their prayers regularly.
