2 Timothy 1:3-10Dear Father, seer of my inmost thoughts,Give me a clear conscience in my service to you. Then fill my mouth with prayers to you as I intercede for those I love. Let my contacts with them be sources of great joy for all of us. Let the sincere faith of our mothers and fathers and other relatives take root in us and grow.Whatever gift you have given me, help me rekindle it every day and fan it into a flame of service and love for you. Help me live boldly for you, for you did not give me a spirit of timidity but a spirit of love and power and inward strength.Don't let me ever be ashamed of bearing witness about our LORD. Let me take my share of suffering for the gospel and rely on your power.In the name and power of Jesus I pray. Amen.Ⓒ 1996-2025 Heartlight, Inc.

1 Timothy 6:20-21, 11-16Dear Father, invisible and immortal God,Guard me that I may guard what you have entrusted to me. Help me to avoid the godless talk and vain reasonings of "knowledge," (which is not real knowledge) lest I miss the mark as regards the faith.Give me the courage and strength to flee from all wickedness and to pursue instead righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness. Help me fight the good fight of faith.In the name of Jesus and to your glory I lift up this prayer. Amen.Ⓒ 1996-2025 Heartlight, Inc.

1 Timothy 6:17-19Dear Father,May we learn to be content and not to seek material riches. Let not our craving for riches cause us to wander away from the faith and pierce holes in our own hearts.Help those who have an abundance of this world's goods to not be haughty nor to put their confidence in riches. Help us to set our hearts upon you, the living God, who richly furnishes us with everything to enjoy.Help us all to do good, to be rich in good works, to be liberal and generous. May we thus lay a foundation for the future, and take hold of the life which is life indeed.In the name of Jesus I ask. Amen.Ⓒ 1996-2025 Heartlight, Inc.

1 Timothy 6:12-15Dear Father, LORD of all lords,Enable me to take hold of the eternal life to which I was called when I made the good confession before many witnesses. Help me keep your commands until the appearing of our LORD Jesus Christ, which you will bring about in your own time.O God, the blessed and only ruler, the King of kings and LORD of lords, who alone is immortal and lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see - to you be honor and might forever and ever.

1 Timothy 6:1-10Dear Father, whose truth is gentle,Help us to find a heart to serve you, even in oppressive circumstances.Grant that our religion may not be a ground of conceit. May we not love controversy, but rather avoid wrangling and contention. Help us witness to your truth to others, but let it always be done in a spirit of gentleness and truth-seeking.May none of us be guilty of using anything connected with our faith as a means of worldly gain. Help us to accept the great gain that comes with a godliness combined with contentment.We brought nothing into this world. You show us that we can take nothing out, except for the treasures we lay up in heaven. Help us to be content and not to seek material riches.In the name of Jesus I ask.
