Lord, as we celebrate National Mentoring Month
(mentoring.org) we rejoice in how you have arranged your body, the Church.
Thank you for setting us up to be in relationship. Thank you for exhorting the
older to instruct the younger (Titus 2). Thank you for providing so many
examples in Scripture that demonstrate how you use us—despite our weaknesses—in
the lives of others. Thank you for empowering us to pass on what we have
learned to others. Lord, we pray for mentors (formal and informal) around the
world to be effective in their ministry. We pray that their love for those they
invest in will have a lasting impact for your Kingdom on not only their
mentees, but also on the people their mentees influence. We pray that their
example will inspire people who have balked at taking time to invest in others
one-on-one. Show us whom to mentor. Show us whom we should ask to mentor us.
May we love each other as you want us to, that the world may see you in us
(John 13:34,35). In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
