Ephesians 4:1-3

1 Passage: Ephesians 4:1-3

1 Verse: Verse 1. Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called,

1 Prayer: Father, You have called me to be free, to walk in freedom. Yet I still feel like I am stumbling around in prison chains. You're going to have to help me. I don't think just imploring me to walk is going to be enough to get me out of this. And how can anyone be worthy of so high a calling, anyway? You know better than anyone just how unworthy I am. Still, I trust You. If You say it is possible, I will believe it. Help my unbelief. Please help me both to believe and to walk in a manner of one who believes. Thank You for walking beside me all the way. Thank You for Your Spirit -- the Comforter, the One Who Comes Alongside. He is closer than a "walking buddy". He slows my racing heart, quiets the blood beating in my ears, steadies me when my tired legs wobble with weariness. He gives me breath when I am breathless -- my second (and third, and fourth, and fifth . . .) wind. Thank You for wrapping Him up in other peoples' skin. Please allow me today to come alongside another fellow sojourner, a pilgrim on the narrow way, and be an encouragement to them.
