31 POWERFUL PRAYERS: Day 23 | GO AND DO

31 Powerful PrayersToday’s prayer is actually the first verse of a song. It is called A Missionary’s Prayer, also known as I Will Go and Do, written by Janice Kapp Perry in 1979.

A missionary is one who travels away from home to carry the message of the gospel (good news). They sacrifice time and money to do what they feel God has called (or asked) them to do.

I hope you will read the words and pray something similar. Not so you can go half way around the world but simply to cross the street or walk to the other side of the room. There are people in your neighborhood, at you place of employment, and maybe in your own home that need to hear the good news.

Be ready to Go and Do.

A Missionary’s Prayer (I Will Go and Do)

Father, I hear thy call,

I turn my thoughts to thee, forsaking all;

Recalling promises we all must keep.

I put my hand in thine and go to feed thy sheep.

Lead me to those who seek,

and give me faith and strength to boldly speak.

In humble dignity I will proclaim,

that men may come to know and love thy holy name.

If there be trials, Lord, to help me grow,

If thou wilt guide me I will conquer, this I know!

I will go and do the things which the Lord commandeth,

for I know that He giveth no commands to His children,

except He prepare a way, except He prepare a way.
