When you undertake some special endeavor, do not concentrate your attention and heart on it, but look upon it as something secondary; and by entire surrender to God open yourself up to God's grace, like a vessel laid out ready to receive it. - From The Art of Prayer

Pray for the church that we also strive for doing God's Will rather than simply doing ministry to the best of our ability. Instead of worrying about whether or not we will find the volunteers, or the finances, or the leadership etc...for a special ministry, we can be reminded that simply giving it to God is the surest way of guaranteeing success. What kind of ministry has God placed on your heart?
