Praying with Paul

Hebrews 2:5-13​

Dear Father, King of all,
Thank you for subjecting the world to come to our Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you that Jesus was willing for a time to be made lower than the angels and to taste death for every person, according to your grace.
Thank you for raising him up and crowning him with glory and honor because of his willingness to carry out your will.
I am so thankful that the Lord Jesus was willing to pioneer our salvation, thankful that he was made perfect...

 

Hebrews 2:1-4​

Dear Father,
Help me to pay close attention to all of your teaching, lest I drift away from it. How shall I escape if I neglect so great a salvation?
Thank you for your message of hope. Thank you for the teaching of repentance and the kingdom that was proclaimed by the Lord himself and then passed on by his emissaries to the world, and then to my generation, then to me.
Thank you for the signs, wonders, miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit by which you bore...

 

Hebrews 1:1-14​

Dear Father, father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Thank you for speaking through the prophets of old, bit by bit, in first one way, then another. Help me not to be slow of heart but to believe all they have said. Thank you most of all for speaking to us through your Son. You made him heir of all things and through him you created the world. We give glory to you because this one who shines forth with your glory and bears the very stamp of your nature. He upholds the...

 

Titus 3:4-15​

Dear Father,
Thank you that your goodness and loving kindness have appeared. Thank you for saving me, not because of my righteous deeds, but in virtue of your own mercy, totally undeserved, by the washing of regeneration and the renewal of the Holy Spirit. You richly poured it out on me through Jesus Christ, my Savior.
Thank you for doing all this so that I might be justified by your grace and become an heir in hope of eternal life! Thank you that I can be sure of...

 

Titus 3:1-3​

Dear Father,
Help me to have respect for rulers and authorities, to be submissive and obedient.
Help me to be ready for any honest work, and to speak evil of no one.
Help me to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy to every one.
Help me not to be foolish, disobedient, or led astray. Help me not to be a slave to various passions and pleasures, or to pass my days in malice or envy, hating others or being hated by them.
In the name of Jesus, the...

 

Titus 2:4-14​

Dear Father,
Help me to be submissive to others' needs, to give them satisfaction, to show entire and true fidelity, so that in everything I may adorn your teaching, my God and Savior, my Teacher.
I want to renounce irreligion and worldly passions, and to live a sober, upright and godly life in this world. I want to wait for (and hasten!) the appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity and to purify for...

 

Titus 2:1-8​

Dear Father, whose word is sound doctrine,
Let me teach by word and example what conforms to the sound doctrine of your word. Help me to be temperate, serious, sensible, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness.
Let me show myself in all respects to be a model of good deeds, and in my teaching and example to show integrity, gravity, and sound expression that cannot be criticized, so that any one who opposes your teaching may be put to shame, having nothing evil...

 

Titus 1:15-16​

Dear Father,
Let me have a pure mind, so that all things may be pure to me. For to the corrupt and unbelieving, nothing is pure. Their minds and consciences are corrupted, and professing to know you, they deny you by their deeds. They are detestable and disobedient, unfit for any good deed.
O God, I want to flee from all such behavior and be yours alone. Guide my mind and keep my heart and move my body! Give me salvation, sincerity, and selflessness.
In the holy...

 

Titus 1:11-14​

Dear Father,
Help me never to teach or serve in your kingdom for selfish gain. May I live and do good out of pure love for you.
Help me to stay away from stupid myths, concocted by human imagination, and follow only the truth that comes from you.
Help me to be frugal in my approach to life. Save me from overindulgence of every kind.
In the holy name of Christ Jesus I ask it. Amen.

Titus 1:1-9​

Dear Father, the God who never lies,
Grant that my life will further the faith of your chosen people and increase their knowledge of the truth that accords with godliness, in hope of eternal life which you promised ages ago and at the proper time manifested through the preaching of your word.
May the leaders of your people be blameless, good stewards of the responsibility which you give them. May they hold firmly to your sure word as taught by your apostles. May...
