Acts 8:21 NIV
"You have no part or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God."
Simon the sorcerer tried to buy "the gift of God" with money, and Peter chastized him because his heart was not right. When my heart is not right God does not want me to serve in ministry. When I am proud, when I have selfish motives, when I take the glory for accomplishments, when I am focused on me, my heart is not right and I might do more harm than good.
Lord that I may be right with you. That I am humble, and caring for others, that I am loving and trusting in you Lord. Help me to make my heart right with you Lord. Help me to be what you want me to be and to do your work as you would have me do it. To you Lord be the glory.
