2nd Thessalonians 1:11-12 NLT – 11 And so we keep on praying for you, that our God will make you worthy of the life to which He called you. And we pray that God, by His power, will fulfill all your good intentions and faithful deeds. 12 Then everyone will give honor to the name of our Lord Jesus because of you, and you will be honored along with Him. This is all made possible because of the undeserved favor of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ.

God will make us worthy of our life in Him by transforming us with the power of His Holy Spirit in us. He will, by His power, fill us with the desire to do good and will produce the fruit of the Spirit and good deeds in our lives so that the world may see our good deeds and transformed lives and glorify and honor God (1 Peter 2:12). So let us pray, “Lord God, we continually ask that You will make all of us, Your children, worthy of the life to which You have called us in Christ. May we see You at work in us*. Lord, by Your unlimited and almighty power at work in us, fulfill all the good intentions and faithful deeds that You have given to us. Then may all the world give honor to Your name, Lord Jesus, because of us and Your work in and through us, and may we be honored in and with You. For we are Your workmanship, created anew in Christ Jesus to do the good works You prepared in advance for us to do (Ephesians 2:10). Thank You for Your undeserved favor – our God, Lord, and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
