Praying with Paul: 'Nothing Will Be Lost'

Wednesday, May 13, 2026

1 Corinthians 15:58

Dear Father,

Thank you for the assurance that my work for you will never be lost. The Lord Jesus promised that even a cup of cold water given in his name will not lose its reward.

May I be zealous, steadfast, and immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord and utterly counting on you.

I trust you, Lord, because I believe that my efforts for you are not in vain. May I always give myself fully to your work, knowing that anything else I might accomplish in this life will have no value in eternity.

In the name of your son, my Savior and Lord, I pray. Amen.
