Lord, help me to be discerning,
but not judgmental,
careful not critical,
confident, but only in You.
Help me to love without limits,
to speak Your truth, not my opinion,
to be open to Your leading,
but closed to every false way.
Equip me, Lord God, with boldness
and clarity, compassion and courage,
wise teaching and clear direction.
May my words and works
glorify Your name, even as they
build up for me treasures forevermore!
To this end we always pray for you,
that our God may make you worthy of his calling
and may fulfill every resolve for good and
every work of faith by his power, so that
the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified
in you, and you in him, according to the grace
of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians 1:11-2 ESV
