2 Timothy 4

Thank you, Lord, that you stand by me, and you strengthen me. Through me you speak and teach your word. Make me ready at any time to convince, rebuke, exhort, and teach with all patience.

Guide me, Holy Spirit, that I will be watchful in all things, that I will do the work of an evangelist, that I will fulfill the ministry you created me for.

I know you were faithful and sovereign, Lord. You deliver me from every evil, and you preserve me for your heavenly kingdom.

By your power and person in me, I will stand firm; I will finish well; I will walk in faith; I will receive the crown of righteousness which you have prepared for me and for all who love your appearing.
