Tuesday, January 31—Ephesians 4:1-3
I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
- pray that God will help you to embrace and be directed by your identity in Christ, aware that He has called you to be His and calls you to follow Him
- pray that God will remove the pride that lurks in our hearts and work in us a spirit of humility, a broken and contrite heart that defers to Him and seeks His will and glory above our own
- pray that God will help us to love one another from the heart, with the love He has demonstrated for us and has described to us
- pray that God will help us to be peacemakers and to pursue His heart for unity among our brothers and sisters in Christ
- pray that the Spirit would work in you in increasing measure love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control
- pray that you would love in deed and not merely in word; sacrificially and sincerely in the model of our Lord
