I Thessalonians 1-5
“For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile: But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.” I Thessalonians 2:3-4
Lord, I pray that You would forgive me for being one who speaks to please men’s ears. I have been fearful and ashamed of the truth. I pray for Your forgiveness and ask you to help me speak the truth in love that others may know and come to Thy Son, Jesus Christ.
“For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labor be in vain. But now when Timothy came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you: Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith: For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.” I Thessalonians 3:5-8
Lord, I pray that the same could be said of me, that my faith in Thee brings comfort to those who have labored to help me as I have grown. I desire to stand firm but I know that I truly am an unfaithful servant. Dear God, I honestly do not know what it will take to bring me to the next level, but this one thing I know, every trial and trouble that I have been through thus far, You have shown Yourself faithful and have sustained me. Do what You will with my life.
