Dear Heavenly Father,
I thank you for the love and faith that I have in you and in your son, Jesus Christ. I am grateful for the way you have blessed me and the way you have worked in my life. I ask that you would continue to fill me with love and faith, and that I would be able to share that love and faith with others, just as Philemon did.
Help me to be a source of encouragement and joy to those around me, and to be a reflection of your love and grace. Open my heart to forgive others and to extend grace to those who may have wronged me, just as Paul asked Philemon to do.
I pray that I would be a vessel of reconciliation, helping to bring healing and restoration to broken relationships. And as I go about my days, may I continue to grow in my understanding of your will and purpose for my life.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
