Today’s Verse:
"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed…." – 2 Timothy 2:15

Prayer for Today :

Heavenly Father,

It is true that if we do our best, we need not to be ashamed - Either of unfaithfulness or unskilfulness?

Father, we can faithfully perform our duties, so that when we look over what we have done, we may not ashamed.

Father, we can present to you only our best and our best only. We know that if You assigned us to work at some places, we'll put on our very best to work with our co-workers and our jobs. Father, help us to control our temper and stop being harsh on ourselves, whether on the outcome of the job or the putting the quality burden on to our own shoulders. Father, we can do our best and more than our best with
Christ who supports us, however, do grant us the serenity to accept that the end result may not be the one we expected and that it is "out of our control".

Father, when we honestly have attempted our ultimate best, help us to realise that we are successful already! Thank you for having the confidence in us, and give us the opportunities to attempt "the unachievables".

In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
