Prayer on Walking Worthy of God
Paul has many pleasant memories
of the infant Thessalonian church.
Their Faith, love and perseverance
in persecution are exemplary and
Paul’s labours as a spiritual parent
to the church have been rewarded.
He encourages the Thessalonians
to excel in their Faith, increase in
their love, and rejoice always as
they await the return of the Lord.
Lord, we will Walk Worthy of You:
We have been… entrusted with
the gospel, even as we speak, Not
Pleasing men, but God (1 Ths 2:4).
We exhort and… charge every of you
(to) Live your lives in a way that God
would consider Worthy (1Ths 2:11-12)
We never stop thanking God that
when you received his message
from us, you didn’t think of our words
as mere human ideas. You accepted
what we said as the very word of
God, which of course, it is. And
this word continues to work in
you who believe (1 Thess 2:13).
Lord, thanks for Your plan of a
good future for each one of us.
Lead me to people who will clarify
and confirm Your purpose for me.
Fulfil Your purpose for me even
as I purpose to Please You God.
Grant me serenity to accept the
things I cannot change, courage to
change the things I can & wisdom
to know the difference. Amen.
Lord, whom I call as my first and
foremost, forgive me for sometimes
treating You as a minor player in
my life, as an auxiliary counsellor
or as subsidiary to my main business.
Help me Lord to seek Your will,
put You God first and live in such a
way that will not bring shame to You
but Honour Your holy name, Amen.
Lord, help me to be careful from
becoming judgmental in opinions.
Help me from being conceited in
ministry as if my words have the
power to bring about change and
deep growth that is needed. For
it’s Your Word that is needed most,
Your Word that has the power to
bring about real & lasting change.
In Jesus’ precious Name, Amen.
