To Mature in My Faith
Dedicated Savior,
Your grace is not just what brought me to faith, but also what keeps me in the faith and grows my faith. But I so easily take it all for granted. I let other preoccupations become priorities. I get busy doing things that seem urgent and important right now, but have no bearing on my spiritual health or my eternity.
In your gracious forgiveness, both wash me and work in me to desire more of the things you desire for me. If I am to be a godly man of faith, direct me to your Word so that through it, you can create in me a hunger for spiritual growth that seeks to be satisfied by time spent with you. Let your Word dwell in me richly each day, develop a disciplined prayer life in me, and deepen my drive to engage with and commit to my church family and community. Make these requests a reality, so that through them you may grow me into the mature man of God you created me to be.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
