Prayer Thots on 2 Peter 1 (Sep 27)

The Lord Enables Godly Living

Defection within the community
of believers can be devastating.
To counteract the effects of this
“poison”, Peter reminds his readers
of the timeless truths of the faith
and exhorts them to continue
growing toward Christian maturity.

Lord, You Enable Godly Living:
By His divine power, God has given
us everything we need for living
a godly life. We have received
all of this by coming to know him,
the one who called us to Himself.
He has given us great & precious
promises; which enable you to
share His divine nature (2Pet 1:3-4)
And so we have the prophetic
Word confirmed, which you
do well to heed as a light that
shines in a dark place (v19) Amen

God, bless me with grace and
peace as I come to know Jesus
more and more. Open my eyes
and teach me how to develop a
more intimate relationship with U.
You promise Lord that as we get
to know Jesus better, His divine
power will give us everything
we need for living a godly life.
Help me grow spiritually; and
may I live wholly for You. Amen.

Lord Jesus, exercise your divine
power within me. Teach me how
to tap into Your limitless supply
so that I will never find myself
lacking in anything that You offer.
Holy Spirit, fill me continually and
be present within me. I want to
experience You more than I do.
Increase daily the evidence of
Your presence in my life. And make
Your home in me so that I can
become a clear demonstration of
Your goodness & who U are. Amen

Father, apostle Peter exhorts us
to be diligent in Christian growth.
In this regard, help us O Lord,
to keep on knowing more of You,
remember what Christ taught us
& be diligent in faithful obedience.
Thank You that in your goodness,
U not only Rescue but also Free us.
And we claim your promises:
that You Give Us Godly Nature &
that You Enable Godly Living. Amen
