I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, because I hear about your love for all his holy people and your faith in the Lord Jesus. I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ. Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the Lord’s people.--Philemon 1: 4-7 (NIV)
Heavenly
Father,
Thank You, for surrounding me with Christian brothers and sisters—and for the joy and encouragement that I receive from them as we refresh each other’s hearts with the good things we share in Christ.
Help me to remember always to be thankful for
them and to lift them up to You in my prayers—praying for the deepening of
their understanding of every good thing that we find in Christ, as they
continue to live out their lives before men, as a testimony of their love and
faith in You.
Help me to
live out my life in You, with love for others, so that they might see You in me—and
be joyfully encouraged and refreshed by my faith and love for You, and give all
the glory to You, the author of all
things good.
Thank You, for surrounding me with Christian brothers and sisters—and for the joy and encouragement that I receive from them as we refresh each other’s hearts with the good things we share in Christ.
In the name
of Jesus, Amen.
