“The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:24 NIV

Lord, your faithfulness to us is amazing. We can each recall time and time again where you have faithfully been there for us. We thank you that you never leave us. We thank you that you are faithful to help us overcome the attacks of the enemy and obstacles we face as we move forward in our journey with you. We thank you that you are faithful to carry us through the seasons when the hurt and brokenness feels like it is going to drown us. We thank you that you are faithful to provide for our physical needs. We thank you that you are faithful to forgive us again and again each time we mess up.

Lord, we also thank you that you are faithful to place a calling on each of our lives. Then you are faithful to prepare us to live out that calling. It will be bigger than anything any of us can accomplish on our own, but you are always faithful to walk with us and help us accomplish it. We thank you that anytime you ask us to do something, you will make a way for us to accomplish that task. We thank you that you are faithful to open the “impossible” doors to bring our callings into reality. We thank you that you are faithful to provide all the finances needed for us to accomplish what you are asking of us. Just like this verse says, you are the God who calls us, and you are faithful to make that calling happen.

Grow our faith to trust you and expect you to come through when we face the impossible. Stretch us so we learn to trust you for more and more. Forgive us for the time when we are lacking faith and give up before we even ask you to move. Let each of us walk in all you have called us to do without a moment of hesitation or doubt in your faithfulness. For you are worthy of our everything and have proved your faithfulness to us time and time again!

In Jesus name, amen.
