Praying with Paul: 'Christ, Our Seal of Approval'

Monday, May 19, 2025

2 Corinthians 1:20-22

Dear Father,

Thank you, my God, that you utter Yes to me. You establish and affirm my very being through Christ, and not only me but all your elect people.

Thank you for putting your seal of approval on me and giving me your Holy Spirit in my heart as your guarantee.

Thank you for saying Yes to me! Yes in yourself, yes in Christ, yes through the Spirit!

Thank you, Father, thank you. How I love you! How I praise your name on earth in hope that I may someday praise you for ever in heaven.

In the name of Jesus I ask this and utter my Yes! my Amen! according to his will. Yes! Amen!
