## Written prayer

"Dear Lord, We praise You for the example of humility and service that You set before us. You showed us that greatness is not found in power or position, but in love expressed through service. Forgive us, Lord, for the times we have sought recognition instead of righteousness, and status instead of surrender.

Change our hearts, Lord. Transform us into people who find joy in serving rather than being served. Give us a spirit of humility that reflects Your grace. Teach us to put others first and to see every act of kindness as an offering of love to You.

Help us to notice the needs of those around us and to respond with compassion and generosity. Grant us strength to serve faithfully, even when it costs us comfort or convenience. Let our actions be a living testament to Your love. May we serve joyfully, just as You have served us. Amen."
