Prayer to Enable Godly Living
Peter’s 2nd letter teaches opposing internal spiritual attacks by Satan with the knowledge of the truth. Peter warns against apostasy within the church, moral perversions and the denial of Christ’s return that false teachers propagate. He exhorts his readers to grow in grace & knowledge that come thru Christ, thereby gaining strength to resist error and avoid heresy.
Lord, You Enable Godly Living: By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life… He has given us great …promises; which enable you to share His divine nature (2Pet 1:3-4) Brethren, be…diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord (v10-11). And so we have the prophetic Word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place… and the morning star rises in your hearts (v19).
Father God, I claim your promises: that You Give us Godly Nature and that You Enable Godly Living. Grant me grace of developing more intimate relationship with You as I know more of You & Christ Jesus. Help me remember what You teach & be diligent in faithful obedience. Help me grow spiritually; so that I may live wholly for You. Amen.
Lord Jesus, thank You for giving me new life that will never end. Your holy word says if anyone is in Christ; the new creation has come: the old has gone; the new is here. I purpose Lord to make the call and election sure; so that I will not stumble but grow into Your image. And with Your empowerment, I will have the capacity to further Your kingdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Holy Spirit, teach me how to tap into Your divine power so that I will not lack anything that You offer. Shine Your light in areas of darkness as morning star shines in my heart. Fill me continually Lord, for I want to experience You more and more. Holy Spirit, increase the evidence of Your presence in my life; so that I will display more love, more power, more of You in my life. Amen!!
