2 Timothy 2

Today, Father, by your word and the presence of your Holy Spirit in me, I realize how strong I am in the grace that is in and from my savior, Christ Jesus.

I am diligent to present myself to you, Father, as a worker who is not ashamed, but instead, as one who is eager and faithful to study to rightly understand, teach, and live in your word.

I shun profane and idle babblings, and instead, I feed on your truth, Father, and I have a solid foundation for godliness. I have the comfort of knowing that you, Father, know those who are yours.

In your great house, Father, there are vessels of gold, silver, wood, and clay; some for honor and some for dishonor. You have cleansed me, Lord Jesus, so that I am a vessel of honor, sanctified and useful to you, my master, prepared for every good work.

Thank you, lord.
