Prayer based on First Timothy 1

Lord God, Your church is plagued by false teachers. Have we ourselves been a part of the problem? So many do not seem to know the truth, and are not living out their faith in love. Will we be no better than the Pharisees, considering ourselves such experts in the Law, but ignoring the weightiest matters of Your commandments? We thank You for the good news of Christ. Your Son came into the world to save sinners, and we are the recipients of His great grace. We worship You and give You all glory and honor. We humbly request Your protection, that we might avoid dangerous heresies and ugly arrogance. Make us more like Christ as we seek You in Word and prayer. Help us to remember Your Son’s death until He comes.
