A Prayer for You

I stumbled across this scripture the other day while studying and just stopped in my tracks after reading it. I'm not sure exactly why it caught my eye to such a degree but I have been reading it over and over. The more I read it, the more I'm encouraged. What powerful words for the Apostle Paul to have left us...

"We constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith." 2 Thess. 1:11

So they are praying that God will reward us for wanting to do what is right and good...and praying that by his power he will make happen every good thing we have purposed in our hearts and he will bless our efforts when we've done things motivated by our faith. What a great thing to pray over folks! And it certainly makes you want to have the right attitude and motives. Remember this too...
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
