Praying with Paul: 'Focused on Goodness'

Friday, November 29, 2024

Philippians 4:8-9

Dear Father, praiseworthy God,

Help me set my mind only on things that are true, that are noble, right, pure and lovely, things that are worthy of admiration.

If there is anything excellent or praiseworthy, O God, let me think only about such things!

Whatever I have learned or received or heard through your apostles and your word, help me to put into practice.

O God of peace, be with me in everything! I believe you will, for you have promised it.

I lovingly pray for your blessings and abiding presence in the name of Jesus. Amen.
