Prayer for Prosperity

² Dear friend, I pray that you may prosper in every way and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. ³ For I was very glad when some brothers came and testified to your [faithfulness] to the truth--how you are walking in the truth. ⁴ I have no greater joy than this: to hear that my children are walking in the truth. (3 John 2-4)
