Grow
Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
Pray
God, the first Christians ate together, prayed together and gave away what they had to anybody who needed it. Thank you for the people you have put around me. Help me be glad and generous like they were.
