2 Corinthians 3:3-6Dear Father, all-sufficient God,Let me be a letter from Christ written to people who need to hear the Good News, written not on paper with ink but on hearts with my loving attitudes and actions.I claim no self-sufficiency, but I believe the sufficiency of your grace qualifies me to serve as a spokesman for your new covenant. I hope through Christ that you might use me this way. Grant me this sufficiency as I rely totally on you.Thank you that the covenant itself is not a written code that kills but a life-giving communication of the Spirit.In the name of Jesus, confident of his sufficiency, I make these requests.

2 Corinthians 2:17-3:3Dear Father,Thank you, Father, that I am not just a peddler of your word, but that I am commissioned by you and that I speak in Christ.Let everyone who comes to a knowledge of your will through what I teach be a living letter of recommendation, written on that person's heart, to be known and read by everyone.Let that person be a letter from Christ to the world, delivered by me, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone, but on the tablets of the human heart.In the name of Jesus I give thanks and make these requests.

2 Corinthians 2:14-16Dear Father,Let the incense which is my life and my prayers arise as a sweet fragrance to you.Thanks be to you, my God, that you always lead me in triumph, and through me, spread the fragrance of the knowledge of Christ everywhere. Thank you that you have appointed Christians to be the aroma of Christ to yourself among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. To the one we are a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life.Who is sufficient for these things? Certainly not I! Your grace alone upholds me.In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.Ⓒ 1996-2025 Heartlight, Inc. This material may not be reproduced in part or whole for commercial use without written consent.
