“So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of His call. May He give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do.”

“Prompting” will soon be thought of as a must-needed skill.  To get the best from Chat-GPT or any large language model (LLM) one must know how to prompt the LLM to receive what they want.  I’m watching some people become very skillful as the result of their prompts yield highly complex and thorough responses and images.  Great interviewers have gotten the best out of candidates or guests because they know what to ask to get the most from the responder.  Will this carry over to being a great prompter? I don’t know, but I do know that we are all going to have to practice and get better and better at prompting so that we can attain the most from the LLMs we will utilize.

God doesn’t ask us to be masterful at our prompts to Him.  Those prayers can be simple and quick or they can be deep and lengthy. I love the prayer that Bono and U2 lift up together before each concert.  It is simple on the surface but so deep in what it is asking, “Lord, make us useful.”  Either simple or deep, if we are sincere and faithful, our prayers will be heard and answered.  Also, our faith alone can prompt us to do the things that He wants us to do to bring greater glory to Him in our work and lives.  So, let’s become more diligent in our prayers, and also be sure we aren’t missing the prompting that He has for us today.
