Praying with Paul: 'Mutual Sharing'

Saturday, January 3, 2026

Romans 1:8-15

Dear Father,

Thank you in Jesus Christ for every devoted Christian whose faith is proclaimed abroad. I thank you that they are a strength to me. Help me be a strength to them. May our mutual sharing of faith be a rich spiritual blessing from you.

Help all of us to realize that we are under obligation to explain our faith to the learned and unlearned, the cultured and the backward, the wise and the foolish, everyone!

Fill us to overflowing with an eagerness to proclaim the Good News about Jesus everywhere!

In his holy name I pray. Amen.
