Praying with Paul: 'Worthy of the Calling'

Saturday, October 23, 2021

Ephesians 4:1-4

Dear Father,

You have called me to your kingdom and glory! Help me to live a life worthy of the calling I have received from you.

Help me live the same life style that King Jesus lived. Let me live with humility and submission, with patience.

Help me to forbear others out of love for them.

Help me to be eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit.

Help me to be bound to my brothers and sisters in peace.

By Jesus' authority and in his name I boldly come to you, asking all this. Amen.
