We Are Asking for Your Prayers: Please Pray for The Good Way Library
There is something we want to ask of every person who visits The Good Way Library. It costs nothing, requires no special resources, and means more to us than we can adequately express.
Please pray for us. Pray for this entire team and the families behind them. Please pray for The Good Way Library.
We mean this sincerely. We believe in the power of prayer, in the faithfulness of God, and in His ability to accomplish things far beyond our own strength or understanding.
This library exists because we believe God’s Word should be accessible, understood, and faithfully taught. Through our Commentary Library and Resource Library, we want to help people know Scripture, understand the Christian faith, and walk more closely with Jesus Christ.
Yet none of this matters if our efforts do not serve God’s purposes.
We can write commentaries, maintain a website, and provide educational resources. However, only God can open hearts, transform lives, and bring lasting spiritual fruit.
That is why we are asking you, as earnestly as we know how, to please remember this ministry in your prayers.
We Truly Believe in the Power of Prayer
Prayer is not a symbolic gesture or something Christians do when every other option has failed. It is a wonderful privilege given to us through Jesus Christ, who brings us into fellowship with our heavenly Father.
Scripture repeatedly reminds us that God’s people should pray for one another.
In 1 Thessalonians 5:25, the Apostle Paul makes a remarkably simple request:
“Brothers, pray for us.”
Paul was called by Christ to proclaim the gospel, yet he still asked ordinary believers to pray for him. In 2 Thessalonians 3:1, he specifically requested prayer that the Lord’s Word would spread and receive honor.
James 5:16 also reminds us:
“The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.”
We take these passages seriously.
We believe God hears His people. He provides wisdom, opens doors, strengthens the weary, and works in ways we may never fully understand.
We do not believe that the future of this ministry rests solely on financial support, technical ability, or human effort. Our confidence must rest in the Lord.
Prayer does not guarantee that everything will happen according to our plans. Rather, through prayer, we entrust those plans to the God whose wisdom and power are greater than our own.
Please Pray for Our Team and This Ministry
Behind every page of The Good Way Library are real people who need God’s wisdom, strength, and guidance.
We are not asking you to pray because we believe our work is especially important or because we deserve some particular blessing. We ask because we know our limitations, and we know that our Lord is able.
Would you please pray for these seven things?
- Faithfulness to God’s Word: Pray that everything we publish remains faithful to Scripture. Ask God to guard us from theological error, pride, carelessness, and anything that could mislead readers.
- Wisdom and Discernment: Pray that God guides our decisions, helps us recognize what matters most, and gives us wisdom to serve the Church responsibly.
- The Families: Please pray for the families of all of the team. Their health, strength, unity, and spiritual well-being. Ask the Lord to help us balance this ministry with our responsibilities and remain devoted to Him above all else.
- Those Who Read the Library: Pray for every person who encounters these resources. May struggling believers find encouragement, curious readers discover biblical truth, and those who do not know Christ come to understand and trust the gospel.
- Provision and Sustainability: Pray that God provides the time, resources, opportunities, and support necessary to maintain this library and keep it freely accessible.
- Protection and Perseverance: Ask the Lord to protect this work from discouragement, distraction, and anything that would draw us away from our purpose. Pray that we remain humble, patient, and faithful.
- Lasting Spiritual Fruit: Above everything else, pray that God uses this library for His glory. May people grow in love for Christ, knowledge of Scripture, and obedience to His Word.
If You Cannot Give Financially, Please Pray
We want to make something especially clear.
If you cannot financially support The Good Way Library, please do not feel that you have nothing to contribute.
Your prayers are not a lesser form of support. They are not a consolation prize for those who cannot donate.
We genuinely desire them.
A person praying quietly at home may never know what God accomplishes through those prayers. A family praying together, a church member remembering us, or someone taking a few minutes to ask God to bless this work can participate in something deeply meaningful.
We do not know what the Lord has planned for this ministry. We cannot predict how many people these resources might reach or what opportunities may come.
But we know that God is not limited by our resources, our circumstances, or the things we consider impossible.
We want to trust Him more, not merely work harder.
And we would be deeply grateful if you would join us in that trust through prayer.
Join Us in Prayer on the First of Every Month
We invite Christians everywhere to set aside a few minutes on the first day of each month to pray for The Good Way Library.
You can pray wherever you are. There is no required time, special gathering, or obligation. Even a few sincere minutes would mean a great deal to us.
If possible, consider making this a regular part of your personal or family prayer life. You might also invite a friend, small group, or church to join you.
You can find our existing invitation and suggested prayer topics here:

A Prayer for The Good Way Library
If you are unsure what to pray, we would be grateful if you simply joined us in this prayer:
Heavenly Father,
We lift up The Good Way Library to you. Please bless and guide this ministry according to Your perfect will.
Keep its teaching faithful to Your Word. Give its creators wisdom, humility, strength, and perseverance. Provide what is needed, protect the team, and help them remain focused on serving You.
Lord, we ask that You use these resources to reach people who need Your truth. Strengthen believers, encourage the weary, lead the lost to Jesus Christ, and draw hearts closer to You.
May this work never become about recognition or human achievement. Let it always point people toward Your Son and bring glory to Your holy name.
We trust You to accomplish what we cannot.
In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, Amen.
From Our Family, Thank You
If you have taken the time to read this appeal, thank you.
If you have prayed for us even once, please know that we are sincerely grateful. We may never meet you or know your name, but we thank God for those who bring this work before Him.
The Good Way Library is something we care about deeply. We want it to remain faithful, useful, and freely available for years to come. More importantly, we want it to serve the Lord and His people well.
We do not know everything God may accomplish through this library. That is precisely why we are looking to Him in prayer.
So we ask you once more, from our hearts: please pray for us.
Pray for our family. Our team. Pray for this library. Pray for the people who will encounter God’s Word through these resources.
And most of all, pray that in everything we do, Jesus Christ will be honored.
May God accomplish far more than we could ever ask or imagine, according to His will and for His glory.
Thank you for walking with us in the Good Way.
