PRAYER TIME

TODAY READING: 1 Ki. 2; 1 Chr. 29; Ps. 95, 2 Th. 1 [TNIV]

Scripture
2 Th. 1:11b,12: ...we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith. [12] We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Observation

What a prayer: God make me worthy of your calling.
God make “every” desire for goodness come true.
God make “every” deed prompted by faith happen.
So that Jesus is glorified in me, and me in him.
God’s grace, lived out in my life.
Application
Who is praying this prayer for you?
Who are you praying this prayer for?
Prayer
Father,
Having been made worthy of the calling by the blood of Jesus
May his resurrection power make me holy
May every action prompted by faith, bring you glory.
Deliver on the deeds as you desire for your delight.
