Praying from 1 Thessalonians 2:6 relating to Humility, Authority, Christ-centeredness.

Dear Lord, please help us to never seek glory from men, whether it be from those around us or from others. May we always remember that our authority comes from being apostles of Christ, and not from any recognition or praise we may receive from others. Help us to remain humble and focused on serving you, rather than seeking personal gain or recognition. Amen.

Verse: nor seeking glory from men ( neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.
1 Thessalonians 2:6

This is a Command. The verse commands the reader to not seek glory from men, even if they have the authority of apostles of Christ.
