Praying from 1 Corinthians 9:2. Themes: Apostleship, Seal, Identity

Dear Lord, I claim the promise that even if I am not recognized as a leader or influencer to others, I am to You. You have called me to be Your apostle and I am grateful for the seal of my apostleship that You have placed upon me. May I always remember that my worth and identity come from You alone, and may I continue to serve You faithfully. Thank You for choosing me and empowering me to do Your work. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Verse: If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 9:2

This is a Promise. The verse is stating that the reader (the Corinthians) are the proof or confirmation of the author’s (Paul’s) apostleship in the Lord.
