1 Corinthians 16:13-20Dear Father,In watchfulness, may I stand firm in faith, be courageous, and be strong. Let everything I do be done in love. Help me to subject myself to those in your church who have devoted themselves to serving all the saints and to refreshing the spirits of your servants. May I be a true fellow worker and sincere laborer in your vineyard, always extending joyous greetings and sincere blessings to brothers and sisters in Christ.Most of all, help me to love the LORD Jesus Christ with all my heart and soul. If anyone has no love for the LORD, let him be accursed. Maranatha! LORD Jesus, come. Come now in spiritual presence. Come finally in visible manifestation! Amen.May the love and the grace of the LORD Jesus, in whose name I pray, be with us for ever and ever. Amen.Ⓒ 1996-2026 Heartlight, Inc.

1 Corinthians 15:58Dear Father,Thank you for the assurance that my work for you will never be lost. The LORD Jesus promised that even a cup of cold water given in his name will not lose its reward.May I be zealous, steadfast, and immovable, always abounding in the work of the LORD and utterly counting on you.I trust you, LORD, because I believe that my efforts for you are not in vain.

1 Corinthians 15:51-57Dear Father, keeper of every promise,Thank you for disclosing to us the mystery of what is to come! Keep us looking forward to that moment when we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.Thank you that some of us will not even have to die but will rise to meet the Savior in the air.Praise be to you, Almighty Father. By your will the last trumpet will sound. The dead will be raised imperishable. We shall all be changed. You will make our perishable nature imperishable, our mortal nature immortal.Then you will bring to pass what is written, "Death is swallowed up in victory." "O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?"Thanks be to you, gracious Father, for making us more than conquerors now and for guaranteeing us final victory through our LORD Jesus Christ!In the name of Jesus I lift my voice to you on high.

1 Corinthians 15:47-50Dear Father, keeper of every promise,Thank you for making the first man, Adam, a living soul. Thank you even more that by your power the last man, Jesus Christ, has become for us a life-giving spirit.May I anticipate with hope the fact that, just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.Give me patience as I reside in a body of flesh and blood, knowing that flesh and blood does not inherit the kingdom of heaven, nor the perishable the imperishable, but the physical has to precede the spiritual.In the name of Jesus I lift my voice to you on high.
