2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1Dear Father, worthy of my undivided loyalty,May I never be yoked to any person or organization that does not have faith in the LORD Jesus Christ. For what partnership does righteousness have with iniquity? What fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? What agreement has your temple with the temple of idols?I am your temple, the temple of the living God! For you have said, "I will live in them, and move among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore come out from among them, and be separate from them, and touch nothing unclean, and I will welcome you, and I will be a father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters."Thank you, my God, for this promise and this command! May I never compromise my loyalty and commitment to you! Cleanse me from every defilement of body and spirit, and make your holiness perfect in me.In the name of Jesus I ask, and according to his will. Amen.Ⓒ 1996-2025 Heartlight, Inc.

2 Corinthians 6:1-11Dear Father, blessed bestower of grace,As your servant I commend myself to you as your will may require: Through great endurance, if need be - afflictions, hardships, calamities, beatings, imprisonments, tumults, labors, staying awake, hunger! Through goodness - purity, knowledge, forbearance, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love, and truthful speech. Through the power of God - with weapons of righteousness for the right hand and the left. In disparity - in honor and dishonor, in ill-repute and good-repute, treated as an imposter and yet true, as unknown and yet well-known, as dying, yet behold I live, as punished but not yet killed, as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing everything!In the name of Jesus, who suffered for us, I ask for the grace and will-power to live according to his example.

2 Corinthians 6:1-11Dear Father, blessed bestower of grace,Let me work together with you to entreat people not to reject or ignore your offer of grace, or to accept it in vain.Since today is the acceptable time, since today is the day of salvation, may I never-nor anything about me-be an obstacle in the way of someone else's acceptance.Let my mouth be open to all who will listen. Help my heart be as wide as all humanity.In the name of Jesus, whose compassion reached to every human being. Amen.Ⓒ 1996-2025 Heartlight, Inc.

2 Corinthians 4:16-5:21Dear Father, invisible but absolutely real,May I be compelled by the love of Christ, convinced that he died that I might no longer live for myself but for him, the one who died for me.So let me not regard Christ from a worldly point of view. I am in Christ. I am a new creation. The old has gone, the new has come!I am reconciled to you, my Father, through your Son Jesus. Thank you for what you did for me - through him!In the name of Jesus I praise and thank you for all your great mercies and your continuing and constant grace. Amen.Ⓒ 1996-2025 Heartlight, Inc.

2 Corinthians 4:16-5:21Dear Father, invisible but absolutely real,Let me not lose heart. I know from your word that my light and momentary troubles are working for me an eternal weight of glory that far outweighs them all.Help me fix my eyes not on the things that are seen, but on the things that are unseen, for what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.Help me to live by faith and not by sight. I want to trust you completely.In the name of Jesus I praise and thank you for all your great mercies and your continuing and constant grace. Amen.Ⓒ 1996-2025 Heartlight, Inc.
