Praying with Paul: 'Holy Sharing'

Friday, May 15, 2026

1 Corinthians 16:13-20

Dear Father,

In watchfulness, may I stand firm in faith, be courageous, and be strong. Let everything I do be done in love. Help me to subject myself to those in your church who have devoted themselves to serving all the saints and to refreshing the spirits of your servants. May I be a true fellow worker and sincere laborer in your vineyard, always extending joyous greetings and sincere blessings to brothers and sisters in Christ.

Most of all, help me to love the Lord Jesus Christ with all my heart and soul. If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Maranatha! Lord Jesus, come. Come now in spiritual presence. Come finally in visible manifestation! Amen.

May the love and the grace of the Lord Jesus, in whose name I pray, be with us for ever and ever. Amen.
