Praying the Scriptures: Romans 15:5-6

Romans 15:5-6 has Paul acknowledging that God is the source of endurance and encouragement. He prays that we may have a Christ-like attitude and be unified so that we may glorify God and Jesus.

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

New International Version (NIV)

Praying the Scriptures: 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 is another benediction prayer and ends with a reminder about God's faithfulness.

May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.
