I Want an Effective Testimony

Heavenly Father, I cry the prayer of Jabez and know Your recording of it: Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain! So, God granted him what he requested. [1Chronicles 4:9&10]

Holy Spirit, when my new prayer books are released, my one petition to You is that whoever needs the guidance from those books to improve their relationship with You will get a chance to read them. Let my prayers be a guide to others in how to approach You. My heart desires that I can build Your kingdom and build up others’ faith. I do not seek fame, fortune, or status from these books. I pray that You bless the sales of these books so that the charity that gets the profits will be able to grow. I also pray that You will bless my publisher and her company and expand the work she does.

The Lord is faithful, who will establish me and guard me from the evil one. And I have confidence in the Lord, both

that I will do the things You command of me. Now may You, O Lord, direct my heart into learning how to love You and into the patience of Christ. May the Lord of peace himself give us peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. Amen! [2 Thess. 3:3-5; 2 Thessalonians 3:16]
