Hebrews 13:20-21

"...God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead...great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make [me] complete in every good work to do [Your] will, working in [me] what is well pleasing in [Your] sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen."

John MacArthur, Daily Study Bible, on Hebrews 13:21

The word complete "is a word which is translated 'prepared' in Hebrews 10:5 and 'framed' in 11:3. It refers to believers being edified. The verb has the idea of equipping by means of adjusting, shaping, mending, restoring, or preparing" (1171).

Psalm 130: 3-4

"If You, LORD, should mark iniquities, O LORD, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with You...."

John Ortberg, God Is Closer Than You Think

"How do I make my mind the kind of place where God dwells?

I must believe that God really will speak to me. (86).

I recognize that I cannot control His speaking (87).

Every thought is either enabling and strengthening [me] to be able to cope with reality to live a kingdom kind of life, or robbing [me] of that life.

"...nowhere in the Bible does it say, 'And then God worried'" (90).

Making my mind "the dwelling place of God"

I can know my mind is "'set on God' when the moods that dominate [my] inner life are love, joy, and peace--the three primary components of the fruit of the Spirit" (95).

"Samuel's prayer to God was, 'Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening.' All too often my prayer is, 'Listen, God, your servant is speaking'" (98).
