A Prayer—to Make our Calling & Election Sure
Holy Father, I thank that your divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. We praise you this day and we thank you Lord God, that through your divine power , your glory and goodness you have given us your very great and precious promises, so that through them we may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
Therefore for these very reasons, as we approach and enter this New Year, I pray that we, your people, make every effort to add to our faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
I pray that you would enable us to possess these qualities in increasing measure O God, so that we may be kept from being ineffective and unproductive in our knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. And may we never ever be nearsighted and blind Father to all that you have done for us in Christ; and may we never ever forget that we have been cleansed from all our past sins.
Therefore, Lord, I pray that we become even more eager this coming year to make our calling and election sure. We praise and thank you Lord God, that if we do these things, by your divine promises, we will never fall, and will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
By your continued mercy may your Holy Spirit dwell richly and powerfully in our lives and in increasing measure each day!
We offer these Prayers in Christ’s precious and holy name.
Amen
2 Peter 1:3-9
