A friend recently sent me Barker Road Methodist Church's 7-day prayer guide for this week (leading up to Pentecost Sunday this weekend). The following is from the reading for today.
Tuesday, May 18
God does not call us to strive. He tells us not to worry, to rest in Him because His yoke is easy and His burden is light. We are reminded that unless the Lord builds the house, we labour in vain. Even to our detriment.

"Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labour in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain." - Psalm 127:1 (NIV)
"What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe - as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow." - 1 Corinthians 3:5-7 (NIV)
"For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything." - Hebrews 3:4 (NIV)
