You leave us no Petitions room for misunderstanding for you were very clear in your Pastoral Prayer command that we should put others before ourselves and The Lord’s Prayer Hymnal p. 11 become the servant of others.

Help us to soak up your teaching and your modelling. And then help us to imitate you in our love and service of one another. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
