Prayer for Ephesians 4:28

“The thief must no longer steal. Instead, he must do honest work with his own hands, so that he has something to share with anyone in need.”

Praying through Ephesians 4:28

Heavenly Father, as I read through the many instructions on godly living and Christlike behaviour, I recognise that it is not a superficial change in my outward behaviour that is important, but an inner change in the deep recesses of my being, a change of character that reflects the life of Christ within. Forgive me for the times I have stolen from others, whether it be in goods, motive, reputation, or in some other more subtle way. I pray that in thought, word, and deed, my actions and attitude would be pure and noble and would honour Your holy name. Bestow on me a generous spirit so I may be cheerful in my giving and compassionate in my heart toward others. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
