Praying with Paul: 'Sowing Seeds'

Friday, July 11, 2025

Galatians 6:6-10

Dear Father, holy unscornable God,

Don't let me be deceived, my God, for I know that no one can mock you with impunity. For whatever a person sows that is what the person will reap. Those who sow to the flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but those who sow to the Spirit will reap eternal life.

I want to reap eternal life, Father. Help me always to sow to the Spirit!

Help me never to tire of doing good, for in your own due season I will reap. Let me never lose heart, but, as I have opportunity, may I do good to all people, especially to my brothers and sisters in the household of faith.

In the name of Jesus I ask all this and that you will give me a Spirit-filled life resulting in eternal victory! Amen.
