MY PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY!

 

3 John 2

2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

 

          The word “prosper,” in the original language, means “to succeed in reaching” and we naturally think of success in business, but there are other successful destinations worth considering.

 

          The “soul” is the Greek psuche and refers to the thinking, rational, and eternal part of man. Now, John meant this as a blessing but for some it might be a curse. Why? To wish one’s success to be directly linked to a “sick soul” would be a curse. Ah, but that is just the preacher in me oozing out again.

 

May all your honest and God honoring endeavors be abundantly successful! May you truly feel well. May you breathe deeply and be refreshed with the air you breathe. May you walk without pain, sleep without worry, rest without guilt, and be content with such things as you have.

 

May the inventory of your life convince you of the abundant love and mercy of God. May your understanding of these blessings burst forth in praise!

 

As we march steadily toward Thanksgiving and Christmas, this is my prayer for you today.

 

Dear Lord, bless your children with soul health and success to equal it. AMEN
