Heavenly Father, how I praise and thank You for the teachings of Paul that give me so much encouragement and comfort. Thank You for his example of a man who cared for the spiritual well-being of others before his own desires. Thank You for all the saints who have been instrumental in telling me about Jesus, encouraging me in my spiritual growth, and placing my needs above their own. I pray that I may show the same grace to my brothers and sisters in Christ. In all things may I joyfully say, "Thy will, Lord Jesus, not mine be done, for Your glory and the well-being of others." This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
