Meditation
Thank God for others and Pray
for them.
St
Paul thanks God for the brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because
they were growing in faith more and more. The love they have for one another is
on the increase. Therefore, there is perseverance and faith among
God's churches in all the persecutions and trials and the people God are
enduring. As a result, they are counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for
which they are suffering.
St Paul prays for them so
that they may be worthy of their calling, and they may live fruitful lives prompted
by faith. St Paul promises further his prayers so their lives may be glorified
in Christ Jesus. It is not only appreciation, which is important for the good of faith, but it is equally important to pray for those whom we love and
wish their good. Prayer does wonders in one’s life and in the lives of others.
Do we pray for other's
good?
