For Direction by the Holy Spirit. (A Missionary Prayer.)

ALMIGHTY God, Who by the power of Thy Holy Spirit didst inspire the first disciples with missionary zeal for the conversion of the world, grant that Thy Spirit may so inspire us, that we may be ready to spend and be spent in Thy service, and may willingly lose our lives in this world in order that we may gather fruit unto life eternal. Show to each of Thy children in what way Thou wouldst have them labour, whether at home or abroad, for the establishment of Thy Kingdom amongst the heathen, and enable us all with cheerful readiness to carry out Thy will; we ask in the Name of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.
