2 Peter 1:3-8 is a passage you don’t need to pray in your life…you need to add it to your life. It says, “make every effort to add to your faith…”. God has done his part, now you do yours. Don’t PRAY THESE, PLAY THESE in your daily living. There are seven, one for every day to add to your Christ walk:
#1 Goodness – praiseworthy
Be intentional with your goodness.
#2 Knowledge – intellect of God shown in right living
#3 Self Control – masters your desires and appetites
Eating, Addiction, Flesh
#4 Perserverance – Endure, hang in there
When you have a deliberate vision and purpose…don’t waiver!
Your tolerance for pain is the indicator of how great you will be!
#5 Godliness – Reverance, Respect
Revere the things of God…His Church, His Word, Your Relationship w/Him
#6 Brotherly Kindness – Love people like family
#7 Love – benevolence
Act on someone else’s behalf
WHY??? SO THAT YOU WILL BE EFFECTIVE AND PRODUCTIVE IN YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST! Verse 8 gives you this promise!
Share with me practical ways you will be adding these to your life.

hey, not trying to pick a fight but sis your are WRONG.you are saying for us to not pray for these things to do and be them on our own.? thats saying we don,t need HIM to serve HIM we can,t do these things without JESUS HELP THEBIBLE SAYS pray for ALL things. you are telling people to not do what the bible says to do. If we could do these things on our own JESUS wouldn,t have had to die.IT is impossible to serve the LORD without HIM, the BIBLE says to pray without ceasing.Everything we do GOD HASSSSS to EMPOWER us.
