1 Corinthians 3:13.
each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work.

Father, you are all knowing and all powerful. You are gracious, good and merciful! You love us dearly. Thank you for knowing our hearts. Remove the yucky stuff that you find there. Give us hearts that please you. Teach us to do works that will stand the test of your holy presence.

Thank you, Father for the faithfulness of the roadies and the truckies. Thank you for their willingness to get up early on Sunday mornings. Thank you for their willingness to pick up after church on Sunday. Thank you for the work that isn’t visible – but is so vital to what happens each week.

Lord, I know that they don’t set up or take down or drive the trucks for glory. They do what they do because there is a need for it to be done. I ask that you bless their work. May it be gold and precious in your sight.

Encourage them. Strengthen them. Give them a peace knowing that what they do is the right thing.

Surround their families and their relationships. Protect them from the cares of this world. Supply needs according to your mercy. Draw them close to you.

In Jesus name,
Amen
