Praying with Paul: 'Furthering the Faith'

Tuesday, September 2, 2025

Titus 1:1-9

Dear Father, the God who never lies,

Grant that my life will further the faith of your chosen people and increase their knowledge of the truth that accords with godliness, in hope of eternal life which you promised ages ago and at the proper time manifested through the preaching of your word.

May the leaders of your people be blameless, good stewards of the responsibility which you give them. May they hold firmly to your sure word as taught by your apostles. May they love and demonstrate everything that is good, and by word and deed refute the advocates of evil.

In the name of Jesus I ask. Amen.
