III John 1

 

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” III John 1:2-5

 

Lord, this may sound selfish, but I pray that there would be those who would rejoice in the fact that I walk in truth. Not to say that I am the greatest to ever do but that I would do so at all. Lord, I desire to be close to Thee and to walk by Thy side daily. There have been so many people who have invested in my life; my prayer is that they would see heavenly returns. Lord, I do also desire to see fruit to my labor. I know that only You can give the increase and if You don’t, I labor in vain. I pray that You would bless the work of my hand that it would not be in vain and that there would be souls in heaven one day as a result of Thy blessings.

 

“Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers; Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well: Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles. We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellow helpers to the truth.” III John 1:6-8

 

Dear God, help me to be a charitable person, help me to be a fellow helper of the truth, but most of all help me to produce other fellow helpers of the truth. Lord, I often look at my life and the level of influence that I have with others is seemingly small. I desire to be a light that others would seek to imitate and to give their all to the ministry. Lord, I pray for those who have expressed interest in our church and what we believe at my work place. I pray that I would have the right manner of living that they would see my good works and glorify my Father which is in Heaven.
