Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern. (Philippians 3:17)
Father, thank you for those faithful witnesses and mentors who provide godly examples for us to follow. Please raise up more of these in your church.
For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: (Philippians 3:18 )
Lord Jesus, we are surrounded in the church by such tares. Help us cherish and protect the wheat.
whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame–who set their mind on earthly things. (Philippians 3:19)
Jesus, protect your little ones and all your faithful people so that we are not swept away by the lies which are being told to your people.
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, (Philippians 3:20)
Come soon, Lord Jesus; come soon!
who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to his glorious body, according to the working by which he is able even to subdue all things to himself. (Philippians 3:21)
Jesus, please subdue my mind and my heart to your kingdom purposes.
Therefore, my beloved and longed-for brethren, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved. (Philippians 4:1)
Holy Spirit, please help us stand fast in Jesus. Thank you.

Notes from the Front Line
***** For many years I have thought that Psalm 103:1 was Mary’s daily prayer while she was pregnant with Jesus.
