Praying with Paul: 'Attention to Teaching'

Thursday, September 10, 2026

Hebrews 2:1-4

Dear Father,

Help me to pay close attention to all of your teaching, lest I drift away from it. How shall I escape if I neglect so great a salvation?

Thank you for your message of hope. Thank you for the teaching of repentance and the kingdom that was proclaimed by the Lord himself and then passed on by his emissaries to the world, and then to my generation, then to me.

Thank you for the signs, wonders, miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit by which you bore witness to the truth of this message.

Father, let me live in the light of the glorious gospel of Jesus, that wonderful Good News that you love us and want to make of us your pure and holy children.

For this, Father, all praise, honor, glory and dominion belong to you.

In the name of Jesus I ask. Amen.
