To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power, so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians 1:11-12
Father God, I come before You this morning confessing that I am not worthy. When I look at my life and the ambitions that I have often pursued, the focus of my attention, and actions that I have taken, many times they have not met Your standard. Instead they have been self-absorbed and in pursuit of temporal comforts. I pray today that You would cleanse me of this shortfall in my character and imbue me with a holy resolve to pursue that which glorifies You most. I pray that my thoughts, words and deeds this day might bring glory to Your Name, lifting up my Savior, causing others to see Him at work in me. It is my prayer that as I resolve to put Him first, that You would honor my efforts with success. It is my desire that the Name of my Lord Jesus Christ might be truly glorified in me, and that I might be able this day to walk boldly in the abundant grace that is mine in Him. I present my body to You a living sacrifice. Use me. I am resolved this day to know nothing but Christ and Him crucified. Please fulfill this resolve in me in Jesus’ Name.
