Heb 13:20,21 Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
For many us it seems it would practically take something akin to a resurrection from the dead for us to portray competence, not to mention perfection, in every good work. But in view of Christ's resurrection from the dead, God is quite capable of actualizing that outcome. But lets us not neglect to pray to that end. Maybe you have noticed some fellow believer, perhaps even a spouse, whose attempts at doing good works you find to fall short in some aspects. Pray that God may work in them what his pleasing in his sight to the end that they would be perfected in every good work they do. If you don't pray, it may not happen. For what is implied in the prayer here, as also in many of these prayers, is that God has ordained that his actions in these matters are to be partly contingent upon you praying
