Chrysostom
Beloved of All
We join you in this prayer from 2 Thessalonians 1:11 and give thanks to God for your faith and desire to live for Him.
To be counted worthy of our calling is not by our own strength but by the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. As Scripture teaches, faith itself is great and brings salvation, yet it calls for a life that matches it. We are called to arm ourselves with good works, to wash away what offends Him, to pursue every desire for goodness, and to do the work of faith with power. This power comes not from reasoning in ourselves but from trusting God fully and giving glory to Him, who is able to fulfill what He has promised.
So we pray always for you as you have asked, that our God will count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire for goodness and every work of faith with power, so that the Name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. May He strengthen you to live with earnestness, humility and love, to abound in mercy and holiness, and to hold fast the faith steadfastly until the day when those who have believed are revealed to His glory.
We ask this in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom be glory and might forever and ever. Amen.
