Heavenly Father, thank You that You are the one that is going to bring me to spiritual maturity, not in my own strength, but as I yield to the chastening and refining work of Your Holy Spirit within my heart. Have Your way in my life, I pray, until I reach a spiritual maturity that measures up to the full and complete standard of Christ. Christ in me the hope of glory. Praise Your holy name, AMEN.
