Prayer of Preparation for Ministers of Hospitality

Heavenly Father,
You sent your Son as a model for hospitality and ministry.
May I have the courage to walk in his ways and serve your people.
Prepare my heart to love all who come through the door today.
Give me eyes to see their needs and their gifts,
and grace to respond wisely to each situation.
I ask this through the same Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
