We cannot be effective for the kingdom in our own power.  We must have the power of the Holy Spirit. This prayer cries for effectiveness and fruitfulness in ministry.  If this prayer ministers to you, please share it with your friends. 

Prayer

Jesus, as I labor among the saints give me lasting fruit that results from effective ministry (John 15:16). Make every endeavor effective from its inception. There may be times that transition occurs and I’m unable to finish what I’ve started, even in these times bring forth godly results. Make it easy for other people to come and build upon the foundation that I’ve laid. Support the strategic investments I’ve made into Your saints. Cause my investments to grow through them. In every aspect of ministry make it fruitful, sustainable and long-lasting. Give me a lasting legacy in Jesus name, amen. 

1 Thessalonians 3:1-10b

 So when we could stand it no longer, we thought it best to be left by ourselves in Athens. We sent Timothy, who is our brother and co-worker in God’s service in spreading the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith, so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. For you know quite well that we are destined for them. In fact, when we were with you, we kept telling you that we would be persecuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know. For this reason, when I could stand it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith. I was afraid that in some way the tempter had tempted you and that our labors might have been in vain.

But Timothy has just now come to us from you and has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you. Therefore, brothers and sisters, in all our distress and persecution we were encouraged about you because of your faith. For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord. How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you? Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you again and supply what is lacking in your faith.
