50 DCLM Prayer Points Against the Spirit of Avoiding Responsibility:
Exhortation:
Hey, friend. Ever feel that little nudge to duck out when things get tough? That whisper telling you someone else will handle it? We’ve all been there. But here’s the thing: stepping up, owning our part – that’s where the real growth happens. It’s not always easy, but it’s where we discover our strength and see God’s power at work in our lives. Let’s choose to be people who embrace responsibility, knowing God equips us for every task He gives us.
Confession:
Father, in those moments when responsibility loomed, I confess I’ve sometimes shied away. I’ve looked for the easy way out, hoping someone else would carry the weight. Forgive me for the times I haven’t fully embraced the tasks You’ve given me, big or small. I acknowledge that avoiding responsibility hinders my growth and can impact those around me. I turn from this tendency now, Lord, and ask for Your strength to face every obligation with courage and diligence. In Jesus name, Amen.
Scripture Reading:
Colossians 3:23-24: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”1
Praise and Worship:
(Imagine a moment of heartfelt praise, perhaps singing a song about God’s faithfulness and strength, acknowledging His sovereignty and your dependence on Him.)
Father, we lift our voices in praise to You! You are the source of all strength and wisdom. We thank You for Your unwavering love and for the opportunities You give us to serve and grow. We declare Your goodness and Your power in our lives. You are worthy of all honor and glory! In Jesus name, Amen.
