"Holy and faithful God! I thank you that you help us daily with your Spirit and word for our lives to be blameless.

Through today’s passage, I realize that the key to building a beautiful community is to be patient and joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, and be a people of God who have a spirituality that waits for Christ’s return (1 Thess 5:12-28). Would you grant us the grace to be able to live out the encouragement you give us, not just for ourselves but for healthy mutual relationships among brothers and sisters in Christ and for our intimacy with you, God.

Would you help us discern and live out your will in our daily lives, so that we may have healthy relationships among fellow believers and have intimate relationships with you, Father. As the final day, the day of the Lord approaches, may we more eagerly look forward to the day we can meet at last; may we live in love and faith, hold fast to the Spirit within us, and diligently pray. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen."
