Praying Through God’s Word: Philippians

Philippians 1:1-2:11

Lord, there are times when we feel like we can’t go on, times when we feel like giving up. When we feel like this, speak to us Your Word of encouragement: “He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the Day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6).

Philippians 2:12-3:11

Lord, we have Your command – “Work out your salvation.” We also have Your promise – “God is at work in you” (Philippians 2:12-13). Help us to obey Your command, and trust Your promise.

Philippians 3:12-4:23

“Christ Jesus has made me His own” (Philippians 3:120. How wonderful this is, Lord! In these words of Paul, we hear an echo of Jesus’ great words: “You did not choose Me … I chose you” (John 15:16). Your love for us is so much stronger than our love for you. May Your love – the greatest love of all – inspire us to love You more.
