God's Power for Your Calling
Paul's prayer is not for believers to earn worthiness, but for God to powerfully enable them to live out their divine calling. Commentators like Calvin and Barnes explain that perfecting faith is an arduous work that requires God's divine power to complete what He began. This prayer is for God to see His work of salvation through to the end in the lives of believers.
