A Prayer

These verses caught my eye, from Hebrews 13:20-21.  The context of the chapter (along with the entire book) makes it more powerful, so I'll at least give a run-down of the chapter.

The chapter exhorts the people to live selflessly:
Keep on loving each other as brothers,
Entertain strangers,

Remember those in prison as if you were in prison,
Keep yourselves free from love of money and be content with what you have (because God will never leave you nor forsake you),
Let your hearts be strengthened by grace,
Continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise,
Remember to do good and share (Kindergarten lesson we all still need),
And obey your leaders and submit to their authority.

All of that leads to this conclusion, where the foundation for the selfless acts is revealed.  This is my prayer for you and me:

May the God of peace...
equip you with everything good for doing his will,
and may he work in us what is pleasing to him,
through Jesus Christ,
to whom be the glory for ever and ever.

Amen.
