Praying from 1 Corinthians 7:22. Themes: Freedom, Servanthood, Identity in Christ.

Dear Lord, I come before you as your humble servant, recognizing that I am called to be a bondservant in your kingdom. I surrender my will to yours and submit to your authority over my life. I trust that as I serve you, you will make me free in ways I cannot even imagine.

I claim the promise that as I serve you, I am your free man. I thank you for the freedom that comes from being in your will and for the joy that comes from serving you. I also claim the promise that as a free man in you, I am no longer a slave to sin and death.

Lord, I pray that you would help me to live out this truth in my daily life. May I serve you with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength, and may I find true freedom in you. Thank you for calling me to be your bondservant and for making me your free man. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Verse: For he who was called in the Lord being a bondservant is the Lord’s free man. Likewise he who was called being free is Christ’s bondservant.
1 Corinthians 7:22

This is a Both.

Summary: The verse commands the reader to recognize that regardless of their social status, they belong to Christ and are free in Him. It also promises that those who serve Christ will ultimately be free.
