2 Tim 3:16-17
16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
God's words is complete. It is the inspired word of God, fully and complete, not without any holes, but whole, so that it may instruct, guide, and correct our very ways.
This is a declaration of the truth of God's words, written by His inspiration, and given to us to live out. These passages really stress the importance of His words, the authenticity and perfection that is His words, and the practicality of His words. I need to live, breath, and consume His words so that it may be instilled in my Spirit.
Father God, I thank you so much for Your perfect word that You have given to us. I pray over it, that its truth and complete truth may be instilled into my Spirit. Help me read it and reveal into my life through you magnificent words. I pray this that I may draw closer to You, and that You may be revealed in my life. I ask that Your words continue to correct, instruct, and guide me in my life. I give you all the glory and honor in Jesus mighty name.
Amen.

God's Words Unchained
2 Tim 2:8-10
8 Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel, 9 for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of chains; but the word of God is not chained. 10 Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
I realize the power of God's words. Nothing in this place can stop the word of God from spreading, to be chained down, to be shut up.
It is my hope to take the word of God so that others may have Salvation through Christ Jesus. His words are not chained down, and we are not chained down as well. It is through this faith in God that I am able to share His words.
Father God, I thank you for your magnificence, your glory, your power, and your words. I speak your truth over the words you have given to me, and that you may let it overflow. I pray over the words that You have given, that I may take it outside, and share it. Let your words be so genuine, so truthful, so gracious. I thank you for your words. I bless it, and let it speak into the hearts of those that hear. I give you all the thanks and glory, and I pray this in Jesus mighty name.
Amen.

The Patterns Of His Words In My Life
2 Tim 1:13-14
13 Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 14 That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
The Word of God is precious and guides us and teaches us. This passage shows the "patterns" of His words that are good for me, and to keep it in my heart, guided by His Spirit.
The passage displays the importance of His Words in my life. Sometimes I have gone without instilling His Words in my life, but I need to make it a pattern in my life to life by His Words.
Father God, I thank you so much for my life that you have graciously given. I am in awe of such a gracious God who loves someone like me. I pray over this word, that it may be instilled in my Spirit, and I pray that I continuously seek Your Holy Spirit and Your Words to speak truth into my life. I give you so much thanks Lord. I give you my life. I pray this in Jesus mighty name.
Amen.

God Is So Generous
1 Tim 6:17-18
17Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 18Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.
God seeks to lead us closer to Him and this passage tells the same thing. It shows us that money is not the answer, that it can lead you towards a path not taken, but to put our hope in Christ.
What I got out of this passage is that that God is speaking about our faith. Whether it be faith in money, or people, or other things, God wants us to leave our focus on those things, because it can never be the answer, but to put our faith and hope in Him, who provides us all things, over and abundant.
Father God, I thank you so much for all the things that you have blessed me with. I give you all the thanks because you are so generous. Let me put my faith and hope in You and You alone. I can not thank you enough, but allow me to continue to thank you each and every day. Let my focus be on You, Lord. Allow me to be generous and caring and loving as You have loved me. I pray this all in Jesus mighty name.
Amen.

The World's Standards, Or God's Grace
1 Tim 5:8
8If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
This passage gives instructions on how to live, and this passage speaks of providing for relatives, but it speaks more than that. Beyond providing for family, it shows that followers of Christ are held to a higher standard because we are held to God's standards. We need to be beyond reproach in providing for family and everything else in life.
What makes me stand out in my world? How do people see Christ in me? My standard should not be like that of the world, but should be like that of Christ. Not just should I provide for my family, but even beyond that that shows God's love.
Father God, I honor You and praise You because You deserve all the praise and glory. Let these words sink into my spirit and instill in me a desire to live life that shows God's grace to others. I pray for Your Holy Spirit to guide me and strengthen me. I need more and more of You. I give you all the thanks, and I pray this in Jesus name.
Amen.
