Praying Through Romans 16:17-23

As you read and meditate on Romans 16:19-23 in preparation for our Lord's Day gathering and worship, you'll probably notice how connected this is to Romans 16:17-18. I want to offer you some prayer prompts from Romans 16:19-23. I hope they are a blessing to you.

Here's how you can pray through and using Romans 16:17-23:

Pray for discernment in the church to recognize and reject teachings that deviate from biblical truth. And pray that you would have discernment to know what is the gospel and what is contrary to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Ask our Lord for wisdom in what is good and innocence in what is evil, following the biblical exhortation of verse 19.

Plead for God's protection for the Redeeming Life against those who cause divisions and obstacles contrary to the doctrine. That him that we don't seem to have much, if any, of this right now.

Give thanks for those in RLC who serve faithfully and with joy.

Seek the Lord's power to overcome evil, remembering the promise of God crushing Satan under our feet.

Please ask for God's assistance in growing in spiritual maturity, being wise in good and innocent in evil.
