Praying Like Paul in 2 Timothy

• Devotional for Midweek Prayer Meeting *

Pray…

…for fellow believers you have shared the gospel with or have disciple; and thank God for their hearts for the gospel (I remember your tears). 2 Tim 1:3-4 (see Psa 126:5)

…for those fellow believers who are merciful and compassionate to the peril of other believers that they may receive a double portion of God's mercy, both to that believer and also to his or her household. 2 Tim 1:16-18 (see Matt 5:7)

…that God the Son will be glorified in our lives, just as God the Father will. 2 Tim 4:17-18 (emphasizing, v18b; see 1 Cor 10:31)

…that the presence of the Lord Jesus will be with the spirit of your pastor and others in church leadership. 2 Tim 4:22 (emphasizing v22a; see 1 Sam 3:19)

NOTE: Paul also concludes his pastoral epistles (1 Tim 6:21; 2 Tim 4:22; Titus 3:15) in the same way he concludes every one of his epistles: Rom 16:20; 1 Cor 16:23; 2 Cor 13:14; Gal 6:18; Eph 6:24; Phil 4:23; Col 4:18; 1 Thess 5:28; 2 Thess 3:18; Philemon 1:25 (covered in Lesson 22 on 6/14/23)
