2 Timothy 3; Matthew 6; 2 Timothy 3

Today, Father, led by your spirit, I pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with all the other believers you have placed with me. I have a pure heart. I avoid foolish and ignorant disputes.

In the last days, times are perilous. People are lost, loving themselves; chasing after money, unforgiving, unthankful, blasphemers, immoral, and hate filled. Many claim to have godliness, but deny your power and way, Father.

Many are captive to false teaching and loaded down with sins. They are always learning, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Even those who act as priests and wise men resist the truth and lead with corrupt minds. Their folly will show up, and when you are ready, Lord, you will stop them.

But I, and all who are yours, follow your doctrine carefully. We seek your righteousness and your kingdom above all else. That may not always be popular, but I will live Godly in Christ, and I will continue in the things I have learned.

Your word makes me wise unto salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. By the power of your living word, I am yours, a person complete and thoroughly equipped for every good work.
