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

Jesus, you gave your disciples authority and sent them out. Help me stop doing everything myself, and give me faith to send the people I lead — freely we received, freely we give.
