Praying Through the Pastorals 1 Timothy 4



 1 Timothy Chapter Four:

Please give me a conscience that can see and hear truth. I pray that I would not be enticed by unbiblical teaching that might distract or warp my mind or worldview. May I not become too narrow or broad minded to go beyond the bounds of the intended practice of your word. May I live by your word both in freedom and constraint.

May I have my hope fixed on you, my savior and the savior of all people. May training in godliness be more important to me than physical well-being. Keep me focused on what is important to you and your mission for me on this earth. Let me not get distracted by minor points that hinder the gospel.

Help me O God to be an example to others on how to live in conduct, love, faith and purity. Help me to teach accurately and effectively from your word. Please fill me with your Spirit to use the gifts you’ve given me as a faithful steward. May I be fully consumed in the life work that you have given me to do. Help me to be consistent and persistent in the teaching and practicing of your word, for my sake and the sake of others. Amen.
