...as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue..
Dear Jesus, thank You for You continual help in the area of our spiritual growth by the indwelling of Your Spirit. Your desire for us to remember everything we need for life and godliness is ours through Your power and through a diligent reading and heeding of Your Word. May we be wise Father to turn from those who cause discord, raise doubt and create havoc within Your church body. I pray Lord Jesus for my brothers and sisters who are skeptical of the current pressures they are under will cease, may they take time to consider Your promises. May they write them out, memorize and ponder them in their hearts, claim them and pray them back to You. All the while being transformed by the renewing of their minds. Oh, Lord You are an awesome and wonderful God we serve. May we give all diligence to our faith adding to it virtue, knowledge and self-control as to keep us strong to persevere. Father help us to understand in the act of perseverance we are being refined in godliness which leads us to brotherly kindness and ultimately pure love. Father I pray we will abound in these things and we will never be barren or fruitless in the knowledge of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. May grace and peace be multiplied to Your faithful children and their children for generations to come. Let us rejoice in the revelation that Your divine power is an inexhaustible resource that gives Your people everything needed to live an obedient, godly life. May all glory, honor and praise be Yours Jesus forever and ever. Amen.
2 Peter 1:1-9 and Romans 12:2
