WORK AND DISCIPLINE

WORK AND DISCIPLINE

2 Thessalonians 3:6-15
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=2+Thessalonians+3:6-15

Dear Father, God who worked to create all things,

Guide us and empower us to do our work in quietness, to avoid
idleness, and to earn our own living. Help us not to grow weary in
well-doing.

Help us to follow the example of your emissaries, of Paul and the
others, who did not seize some economic advantage from their
positions, but worked to provide for their own needs. Help us to
encourage and enforce a good work ethic among Christians so that we
may be highly regarded among all people.

Help us to be disciplined among ourselves, to exhort and warn each
other, but also to be kind and loving and to treat each other as
beloved brothers and sisters in Christ.

In the name of Jesus. Amen.
