“We always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and powerfully bring to fulfillment every good purpose and every effort of faith, that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, in accord with the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ.”
Paul wished the best for the recipients of his letter. He speaks to us too as he implies that we have been called, that it is the Lord who makes us worthy, and that God has a plan for us.
It depends not on us, but the Lord working in and through us. That basically means I am called to allow Him to form and direct me for His purpose not my own. I ask for the grace to respond according to His plan for me, at this moment in time, at this special moment in my life. Like Mary I ask that His will be done in me.
