Heavenly Father
Give us grace today so that faith, self control and love abound in us8 For if these things are yours and abound,
more
[namely faith, moral excellence, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly affection and love.]
they make you to not be idle or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.…Heavenly Father
Give us grace today to remember what is most important, and to encourage others to do the same.12 Therefore I will not be negligent to remind you of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.

13 I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,
14 knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
15 Yes, I will…Heavenly Father
Give us grace today to live as your children, bringing you pleasure17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory,
“This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
18 We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.Heavenly Father
Give us grace today to take heed to the words of scripture19 We have the more sure word of prophecy;
and you do well that you heed it,
as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns,
and the morning star arises in your hearts:
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man:
but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.Heavenly Father
Give us grace today to not be deceived, but walking in the truth and in obedience to our Master1 But false prophets also arose among the people,
more
as false teachers will also be among you,
who will secretly bring in destructive heresies,
denying even the Master who bought them,
bringing on themselves swift destruction.
2 Many will follow their immoral ways,
and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.
3 In covetousness they…Heavenly Father
Give us grace today to be distressed by what is wicked so that we may not be led into temptation4 For if God didn’t spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus,
more
and committed them to pits of darkness to be reserved for judgement;
5 and didn’t spare the ancient world,
but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness,
when he brought a flood on the world of the ungodly;
6 and turning the cities of Sodom…Heavenly Father
Give us grace today to look for what is good in those in authority10 but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement and despise authority.
Daring, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries;Heavenly Father
Give us grace today to hear your voice calling us back to you whenever we speak evil in matters about which we are ignorant11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power,
more
don’t bring a railing judgement against them before the Lord.
12 But these, as unreasoning creatures, born natural animals to be taken and destroyed,
speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed,
13 receiving the wages of unrighteousness;…Heavenly Father
Give us grace today to avoid both empty words and also words that cause others to be burdened17 These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm;
more
for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.
18 For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness,
they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness,
those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;
19 promising them liberty, while they themselves are…Heavenly Father
Give us grace today to not be entangled in, or overcome by, anything which defiles us.20 For if, after they have escaped the defilement of the world
through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
they are again entangled in it and overcome,
the last state has become worse for them than the first.
