Hebrews 13:  21 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 glory for ever and ever. Amen.

The previous verse reads:  " Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep."  Paul is wrapping up his message to the Hebrews. 

This is a great prayer. I like the combination of a request for power to do God's will with one that we work through Christ to please Him.  That's all I really need. I need to discern God's will and to follow through on it. If only life wouldn't throw these roadblocks in my way!  I love God's people, and they let me down over and over. Then doubt and sorrow creep in. 

Prayer:  I need Your comfort, Lord. I need to let go of the thoughts that torment me. Show me how to keep peace in my heart and with others. 
Amen
