The Greater Benefits of Training for Godliness


“Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.”

—1 Timothy 4:8 (NLT)


Heavenly Father,


Help me to keep my priorities in order, so that I might enjoy the greater benefits You have promised—both in this life and in the life to come—and bring You glory with my life.


Don’t allow me to neglect my physical body, but give me the wisdom to know how best to take care of my body, as You grant me the discipline to do so—so that I will be physically able to accomplish the work that You call me to do.

But beyond physical training, let my heart be all the more devoted to the training and development of my spiritual life—knowing that it is with spiritual strength and faith that the true battles of this life are waged and won.

And help me to remember that, in training for godliness, I must not only set aside that which is evil, but also choose to do that which is good—so that in obedience to You I will find peace and joy, and by godly living I might bring You glory.


Help me to keep my priorities in order, so that I might enjoy the greater benefits You have promised—both in this life and in the life to come—and bring You glory with my life.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
