40 Days of Prayer: Day 5

EACF 40 Days of Prayer 2019
Day 5: For spiritual maturity

Today we pray for God to make us mature, and to give us a deep desire to grow up in our faith and godliness. We need to pray for hearts that are settled in His love for us and our love for Him. We need to pray for devotion and sanctification. Pray that we would no longer be childish or act like spiritual teenagers, but that we would become mature in our understanding of the new life God has given to us through Jesus. How would your life look different? Who else do you know who needs to grow up?

"His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins. Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and election, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall. For in this way there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." - 2 Peter 1:3-11 ESV
