But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. (2 Corinthians 4:7)
Dear Father,
These children will feel inadequate for your task. They will feel they don't have the skill or the words to carry your word into the world. Show them that such is precisely what you have in mind, to use their inadequacy to show your power. May they not retreat from their own inadequacies, rather may they embrace them, falling on your power to take their feeble efforts and magnify them with and to your glory. May they, so to speak, be willing to launch their defective boat to see where your Spirit wind might take it, trusting that you will honor their efforts made in trust. May they simply have the courage to open their mouths. As they do so, fill them with joy at having submitted to your plan.
Amen
