Nothing is too small or too looming for God. Paul explained the perfect recipe for peace-pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Paul was in prison when he wrote these letters with the uncertainty of his final fate being release or death, yet still, he wrote from a place of peace because he knew his eternal resting place.ĭon’t worry about anything instead, pray about everything. 1:2 NLTīlessing others with grace and peace was so integral to the Apostle Paul that he opened all his letters to the churches with the same message of invoking God to grant them grace and peace. May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. I want to live abundantly following the calling you have for my life. Help me to be receptive even when they’re not what I expected. Lord, please guide me to the purpose and plans for which you created me. May He give you what your heart desires and fulfill your whole purpose.
May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do. So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. Paul shared his own testimony that no matter how sinful our life was in the past, God can use a changed life for his glory. God revealed to him that his life purpose was actually to be an evangelist preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He describes his conversion as once I was blind but now I see. Paul, the author of the Book of Romans and much of the New Testament, originally thought his purpose in life was to stop Christianity until he had an encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus. I didn’t start writing and speaking for Christ until I was 50, but being a mother and businesswoman earlier in life was purposeful. Some know their purpose early in life and others don’t find their real calling until much later. As believers, he wants us to find ways to use those gifts to glorify him as well as fulfill a need we all have to be relevant in this life. God made each of us with gifts and talents. Have you ever asked yourself “What in the world am I here for?” Photo Credit: ©Getty Images/Īnd we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Here are five bold prayers that will help you take hold of the abundant life promised in Jesus: But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too. I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours.
He also adds the qualifier that when we pray, we must forgive others just as he forgives us. If we’re not living up to our fullest potential, God tells us to surrender to him and ask for his intervention in our lives. Keep me as the apple of your eye hide me in the shadow of your wings. Yes, he does want it for others too, but we need to remember that believers are the apple of God’s eye. What an exciting thought to think that God desires the very best for us in every area of our life. Jesus wants to bless us with a joyful life spiritually, physically, emotionally, and mentally. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:10b NKJV assures us that Jesus’ purpose in coming to earth was to offer us the opportunity for a rich and satisfying life through a relationship with him.
We can serve God better when our life is in order and we can’t do that by ourselves.
#With everything we will shout for your glory full
He wants all his children to live abundant and full lives and he cares about everyone. God considers you as important as anyone else. Do you ever feel guilty when you pray for yourself? Maybe think your prayer requests should only be for other people?
