I desire to be such a servant,
Thus, I sincerely pray:

Make me a John
Desiring to increase Your name at the expense of my own
Make me shun popularity
May fame not change who I am

Make me a Moses
To make my success my team’s success
Their mistakes, my mistakes
To choose delegation not micro-management and centralization
To train a Joshua to succeed me
To inspire a generation to advance beyond me
To be content that others will accomplish what I will not
To make me the humblest of men

Make me a Joshua
Inspiring courage and faith
Precise in my obedience
Breaking down walls of the impossible

Make me a Gideon
Quick to deflect when praised
Slow to anger when accused
Trusting You can work through many or few

Make me a Daniel
Body healthy Mind intelligent Deeply spiritual
Excellent in everything
Compromising in nothing

Make me a David
Patiently trusting Your providence to be raised up
Humbly accepting Your discipline when brought down
Merciful towards the Sauls
Yet punishing the Joabs

Make me a Nehemiah
Burdened for your cause
Fearless against the enemy
Intrepid against compromise

Make me a Paul; give me all his songs when suffering
Make me a Jonathan; audacious and first to the foray
Make me a Jacob; unimpressed with worldly rank, pomp and circumstance
Make me a Jehosaphat; confident in success through prayer and heeding Your prophets

Lead me not into:
The jealousy of Saul
The arrogance of Uzziah
The compromise of Solomon
The showboating of Hezekiah

Make me a servant-leader
Last to eat, last to sleep, first to rise.

Finally,

Make me like You
To lower myself
To see no task as beneath me
To love my team as You love them
Willing to die that others might live

Make me a servant

Amen
