But also, for this reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.
Heavenly and Holy Father, by Your Holy Spirit living in me may I not grow weary while doing good, for in due season I will reap, if I do not lose heart. May I make the best of every opportunity to do good to all especially to those in the household of faith. I trust Father that You who began a good work in me will see it to completion. I thank You for your numerous offers of divine provisions found in Your holy word. Promises that offer me the glory and virtues of Your precious Son Jesus as a basis for my growing participation in His divine nature. You have promised that You would enable me to become increasingly more Christlike as I desire to leave my old self behind and become a new creation. May I not be conformed to this world but transform me Father by the renewing of my mind, so that I may test and discern what Your good and perfect will is as I travel the road of life. May I love the brethren well with sincere kindness that You have shown me. May all I do and say bring glory and honor to Your great name, both now and forever. Amen.
