2 Corinthians 6:1-11Dear Father, blessed bestower of grace,Let me work together with you to entreat people not to reject or ignore your offer of grace, or to accept it in vain.Since today is the acceptable time, since today is the day of salvation, may I never-nor anything about me-be an obstacle in the way of someone else's acceptance.Let my mouth be open to all who will listen. Help my heart be as wide as all humanity.In the name of Jesus, whose compassion reached to every human being. Amen.Ⓒ 1996-2025 Heartlight, Inc.

2 Corinthians 4:16-5:21Dear Father, invisible but absolutely real,May I be compelled by the love of Christ, convinced that he died that I might no longer live for myself but for him, the one who died for me.So let me not regard Christ from a worldly point of view. I am in Christ. I am a new creation. The old has gone, the new has come!I am reconciled to you, my Father, through your Son Jesus. Thank you for what you did for me - through him!In the name of Jesus I praise and thank you for all your great mercies and your continuing and constant grace. Amen.Ⓒ 1996-2025 Heartlight, Inc.

I want to trust you completely.In the name of Jesus I praise and thank you for all your great mercies and your continuing and constant grace. Amen.Ⓒ 1996-2025 Heartlight, Inc.

2 Corinthians 4:13-15Heavenly Father, giver of life and faith,Thank you for the spirit of grace which enables me to believe.May I have the same spirit of faith as he who wrote, "I believed, and so I spoke."

2 Corinthians 4:7-12Dear Father, powerful sustainer,Thank you for putting your treasure in a cracked clay pot like me so that it will be evident that the treasure is from you, the transcendent and powerful God, and not from me, the container.Thank you for upholding all who serve you. When I am afflicted in every way, I am not crushed; when perplexed, I am not driven to despair; when persecuted, I am not forsaken; when struck down, I am not destroyed.Reveal your immortality through my mortal body. May unbelievers see the glorious work you are doing in my life.I come as your humble servant, in the name of your only Son. Amen.Ⓒ 1996-2025 Heartlight, Inc.
