Today's Healing Prayer
To Mature In Our Walk
Father, I'm praying for myself and others
(name one or more) in my circle of family and
friends to become increasingly mature in Christ...
Some have been content not to grow. They've continued to
live as infants in Christ, settling for the milk of the Word, not
ready to move on to solid food—sometimes for years. Forgive
them and change them; help them be willing to grow, to
become more mature in their walk, their understanding, and
their application of Your Word. (1 Corinthians 3:2; Hebrews 5:12-14)
Help all of us to see wonderful things in Your Word and be
eager to live by Your rules, not ours. Direct our steps according
to the Word; let no sin rule over us. (Psalm 119:18, 9, 133)
Give us a genuine desire to grow beyond simple, elementary
truth, becoming strong in our understanding, as we should.
(Hebrews 6:1–3)
Grant us perseverance so we'll not only begin but continue
to grow in Christ, so one day we'll be complete and not
lack anything. Help us count the cost of time and energy
and be willing to pay the price. (James 1:4; Luke 14:28)
May we choose to grow spiritually.
In Jesus' name, amen.
