A Word Of Encouragement

Praying With Paul

Eldon Degge does a wonderful job of putting Paul’s prayers into everyday language. Read 2 Corinthians 1:23 – 2:4 and then hear the words as Eldon restates them!

I call God as my witness—and I stake my life on it—that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth.  Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm.

So I made up my mind that I would not make another painful visit to you.For if I grieve you, who is left to make me glad but you whom I have grieved?  I wrote as I did, so that when I came I would not be distressed by those who should have made me rejoice. I had confidence in all of you, that you would all share my joy.  For I wrote you out of great distress and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to grieve you but to let you know the depth of my love for you.”

Dear Father, giver of great joy,

I hope that in my effort to get others to live for you that I will never lord it over their faith.

Help me work with them for their joy. Let them stand firm in freedom in their faith.

Help my contacts with them not cause pain, but let my joy be their joy, and let their joy be my joy! Help us to work together in a common goal in the Lord. Help us work for each other’s upbuilding in holiness.

In the name of Jesus and in full confidence of salvation through him I ask all these things. Amen.
