God Enables You To Do Right
Paul writes his 2nd letter to Tim
from prison with imminent death.
And yet the focus of Paul’s letter
is not on his own problems and
needs but on the problems and
needs of young Timothy who is
pastor of the church at Ephesus.
Paul, who has stood faithfully for
the Lord through his life, passes
on that same challenge to Timothy.
There’s no need to fear when
You serve the Lord of the universe
and endure hardship for His sake.
Lord, we will Pray For Others:
I thank God whom I serve…
with a clear conscience…
as I constantly remember
you in my prayers (2Tim 1:3).
For the Spirit God gave us
does not make us timid,
but gives us power, love
and self-discipline (v7). Amen.
Lord, Help me to not forget anyone
in my prayers. Show me especially
people who are lonely and feel
forgotten so that I can remember
them in intercession. Bring specific
people to mind who need a miracle
of healing or help or deliverance.
Show me who needs to hear
Your voice guiding them. And
enable the people I pray to sense
Your love in their lives. Amen.
Lord, leadership in whatever area
and capacity is a big responsibility.
And no leader can please everyone
and every leader eventually needs
to take a stand on important issues
I pray that I will be strong and
able to stand on principles.
Give me the power and boldness
to do so without pride. Amen.
Lord, what a great promise that
You give us your power. Grant me
the grace that when I turn to you,
I can find the right motivation
of Your love, the necessary
strength of your power and
also the self-discipline I need
to do Your will in a way that
brings you all the glory. Amen.
