Prepared (2090) (hetoimazo from heteos = fitness - see study of related word hetoimasia) means to make ready, specifically to make ready beforehand for some purpose, use, or activity.
Those entities that can be made ready or put in a state of readiness include
(1) Things - The King's way, Mt 3:3, Mk 1:3, Lk 3:4, quoting Is 40:3; 6" class="scriptRef">Lk 1:76, cp Re 16:12, a meal = Ge 43:16, Mt 22:4, Lk 17:8, [a specific special meal, the Passover = Mt 26:19, Mk 14:16, Lk 22:13, similarly used in a religious sense in 2Chr 35:4, 6, 1:4, 29:19, 31:11, 35:16 1Chr 15:1, 9:32], Jesus' burial = Lk 23:56, 24:1; lodging in this life = Philemon 1:22 and that to come = Jn 14:2, 3!; in Lxx of place for the Ark = 1Chr 15:1; "locusts" = Re 9:7; a seat by Jesus in the future = Mk 10:40.
(2) People - Soldiers = Acts 23:23; The Bride of Christ, the Church = Rev 19:7; A city, the New Jerusalem (compared to a "bride") = Rev 21:2; Seven Trumpets = Re 8:6; Four destroying angels at the sound of the 6th Trumpet = Rev 9:15; in Lxx of a people = 2Ki 7:24 and in NT John Baptist's mission to a people prepared for the Lord = Lk 1:17; in Lxx God addressing His chosen people [most interpret the angel here as the Angel of the LORD], guiding them to a place ["the Promised Land" in Canaan] = Ex 23:20 [in a similar way this same "Angel" performs a similar function for NT believers = Jn 14:2, 3!];
Our English word prepare (from pre/prae = before + parare = to procure, to make ready) includes ideas such as to fit, adapt or qualify for a particular purpose, end, use, service or state, by any means whatever (eg, men and women are prepared to be disciples by being properly discipled! Webster's 1828 = "holiness of heart is necessary to prepare men for the enjoyment of happiness with holy beings."), to put in a proper state of mind (eg, a heart prepared to hear from the Lord in one's "quiet time"), to work out the details, to plan or make ready in advance usually for a particular use or disposition (eg, prepare the roads for a King's arrival, prepare strategy for a fund raising campaign, to prepare a meal, to prepare the table for entertaining company, to prepare to go, etc), to put together (eg, prepare a prescription), to put in written form (eg, prepare a sermon or doctoral thesis), to make ready for use or consideration, make or get ready to do or deal with something (eg, prepared to preach or teach this coming Sunday), to be prepared to do something, to be willing (and able) to do something, to equip or outfit as for an expedition (cp 2Ti 2:21).
Here in 2Timonthy chapter 2 hetoimazo includes the idea of willingness and eagerness as well as of readiness. It means “prepared” in the sense of being “equipped.”
The following is a summary of hetoimazo modified from Thayer...
“to make ready, prepare”: absolutely, “to make the necessary preparations, get everything ready,” 12.47" class="scriptRef">Lk 12:47; of preparing a feast, Lk 22:9,12 (Ge 43:15; 1Chr 12:39);
of preparing a lodging, Lk 9:52; a supper, Mk 14:15; Mt 26:17; Mk 14:12;
a figurative expression drawn from the oriental custom of sending on before kings on their journeys persons to level the roads and make them passable),
to prepare the minds of men to give the Messiah a fit reception and secure his blessings: Mt 3:3; Mk 1:3; Luke 3:4 (from Isa 40:3); Lk 1:76; Rev 16:12; Lk 1:17; Rev 19:7;Rev 8:6;

prepared i.e. fit for accomplishing anything, 2Ti 2:21; Rev 9:7;

NIDNTT writes that in the Septuagint hetoimazo is used with a religious sense (see notes above) and also ...
the words are used for the all-embracing divine activity of creation, preparation, and establishing. (a) God has established the heavens (Pr 3:19; 8:27) and founded the earth (Jer. 28:15 LXX), founded the earth upon the rivers (Ps. 24:2), and established the mountains (Ps. 65:6). He prepares rain (Ps 147:8; cf. Job 38:25)...He provides food for his creatures (Ps 65:9; 78:20; Job 38:41), and concerns himself with their destiny (Ge 24:14, 44). (b) God’s creation and providence extends also to His acts of salvation in history. He has established Israel to be His people forever (2Sa 7:24), and sworn that He will bring them into a land appointed for them (Ex 23:20; Ezek 20:6). Therefore, He creates food for them (Ps 78:19, 20), and despite their recurring unbelief and all their enemies, leads them into the sanctuary that His own hands have prepared (Ex 15:17). Moreover, He sets up the kings of Israel and establishes their rule. If Saul had been obedient, the Lord would have established His kingdom forever (1Sa 13:13), whereas David, who is appointed by Him, is given the promise, “I will establish your descendants for ever” (Ps. 89:4; cf. 2Sa 7:12; 1Chr 14:2; 17:11; 1Ki 2:24). (c) God does all this because His faithfulness is established in the heavens (Ps. 89:2). There He has set up His throne from the beginning (Ps 103:19)...He has established it for judgment (Ps 9:7), and for the judgment day He has prepared a sacrifice (Zeph 1:7; cf. Isa 30:33; 14:21). 3. The all-embracing work of God in creating and providing for His people does, however, demand self-preparation and readiness on man’s part....In the prophets Israel is challenged: “Prepare to meet your God” (Amos 4:12; cf 2Chr 27:6). This involves also the preparation of the heart: Pr 23:12). (Brown, Colin, Editor. New International Dictionary of NT Theology. 1986. Zondervan or Computer version)
Prepared for every good work specifies how useful the vessel is to the Master in that it is fit for every type of service. Such a "vessel" is...
Ready, willing and able!
Does that describe your daily walk with Christ? It should for otherwise how will you be prepared to even recognize those "good works" which God prepared beforehand that you should walk in them (cp Ep 2:10-note)?
Prepared in 2Timothy 2:21 is in the perfect tense which means that this man (or woman) has been made ready (at some point of time in the past) and remains in a condition of readiness. Such a person has been put in readiness (like the Minute Men militia - mostly farmers, these men were ready to engage in active combat of the enemy in a "minute's" notice! Are you one of God's prepared "Minute Men''?) This man or woman is one who will be ready at all times to be used in whatever way the Master might dictate. And remember that inherent in this readiness is the idea of willingness and eagerness, the antithesis of grumbling! Do you grumble when the Master calls you to action?
Here the use of the perfect tense could point back to our salvation at which time we received all of Jesus that we will ever receive...we were made complete in Him (Col 2:10-note) and were given the empowering presence of His Spirit (Ro 8:9-note, 1Co 12:13). It is also possible the perfect tense in this passage could point back to the moment when we made the choice to cleanse ourselves (cp similar idea in "presenting" one's body to God as a living and holy sacrifice [Ro 12:1-note], for "sacrifices" were required to be clean in order to be acceptable and pleasing to a thrice holy God!)
The word of God makes the ''vessel adequate". How? Teaching, Reproof, Correction, and Training in Righteousness (2Ti 3:16, 17-note) are all a form of "cleansing". We are set apart or sanctified by truth (the first time [past tense salvation-see Three Tenses of Salvation] and then every day for the rest of our life on earth [present tense salvation = "progressive sanctification"]). In fact this sanctification (past and present) was prayed for by our Lord in His high priestly prayer just before He went to the Cross...
Sanctify (aorist imperative = a prayer asking for this to be accomplished effectively! A prayer for disciples to be set apart from the profane and common and unto the pure and holy) them in the truth. Thy word is truth" (Jn 17:17)
Comment: Holiness (cp growth in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, 2Pe 3:18-note) comes about or is effected ("energized" if you will) by the steady intake of the the "bread of life" (Mt 4:4), the Word of Truth. The corollary principle is vitally important for the modern church to recall and reclaim...If there is no (or limited ~ "One Minute Bible" type) intake of God's Truth and no accompanying Spirit enabled obedience to that Truth, there can be no growth in grace and holiness, no growth in Christ-likeness. This principle is reiterated by Peter in 1Pe 2:2-note, but do not overlook the preceding context, 1Peter 2:1-note. One has to discard Peter's "laundry list" of "dirty spiritual clothes", if one is to have a healthy appetite for the Word of Truth. The corollary is if you or someone you know says "I just don't seem to want to get into the Word anymore. It seems dull to me.", then 1Peter 2:1-note provides an excellent "check list" with which a believer can perform "personal inventory". If we have malice, etc, then it behooves us to confess our sin to God and seek His gift of repentance (cp Ro 2:4-note), so that our "appetite" for His holy Word might be restored and we might again long for it like we did when we were first saved, like a newborn baby does for pure milk! Beloved, you can "mark it down" as an immutable principle - There is simply no other way to grow in respect to salvation. No shortcuts to holiness and becoming a vessel set apart by the Master for every good work!
The parallel idea is seen in (Ep 5:26-note) where Paul describes the cleansing role of the Word on the Church:
He (Jesus) might sanctify her having cleansed (katharizo) her by the washing of water with the word.
As we behold "the glory of the Lord" in His Spirit illuminated Word of Truth and Life, we are
being transformed (present tense = speaks of a lifelong process ~ progressive sanctification) into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, Who is the Spirit. (NIV translation 2Cor 3:18)
So the Word of God is used by the Spirit of God to set us apart and conform us to the image of our Lord Jesus Christ (Ro 8:29-note).
Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we shall be. We know that, when He appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him just as He is. And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. (1Jn 3:2, 3:3)
Remember that what is pure and set apart for special use can easily get contaminated and be rendered unusable through contact with the corrupt and profane. Paul was concerned that Timothy, his choice disciple, keep himself in a usable condition for the Lord and separated from evil. (see 1Cor 15:33, 2Th 3:5, 6, 7, 8ff].
Good work (Click here for in depth analysis of Good Deeds) are an important theme throughout the Pastoral Epistles
Steven Cole sums up this verse writing that...
Prepared has the idea of being willing and ready. The cleansed vessel is waiting for the Master to pull it off the shelf and put it to honorable use. Dirty vessels are not ready to be used.
Have you ever been angry when suddenly you have an opportunity to bear witness for Christ? You weren’t prepared, were you? Or have you ever been grumbling about something when you encountered a brother or sister who needed a word of encouragement? You probably didn’t even notice the need, let alone respond appropriately. But if you are cleansed, you’re ready to serve the Lord in any good work that He sets before you. Thus Paul’s point (2Ti 2:20, 21) is that God uses cleansed people. (Bolding added)
Every good work - That is every "God work", every work initiated by and energized by His Spirit (then we can take no credit for the work and have no reason for pride but only reason for praise and thanks!)
Barnes writes that
A Christian should be always ready to do good as far as he is able. He should not need to be urged, or coaxed, or persuaded, but should be so ready always to do good that he will count it a privilege to have the opportunity to do it.
Matthew Henry reminds us that
Spiritual privileges do not make void or weaken, but confirm civil duties. Mere good words and good meanings are not enough without good works.
Thomas Adams
Good deeds are such things that no man is saved for them nor without them.
John Calvin rightly reminds us (for a man is tested by the praise accorded him - Pr 27:21)...
In our good works nothing is our own.
Oswald Chambers alluded to the supernatural aspect of good deeds when he exhorted us to...
Do good until it is an unconscious habit of life and you do not know you are doing it.
Martin Luther in his preface to his comments on Romans wrote...
Oh, it is a living, busy, active, mighty thing, this faith; and so it is impossible for it not to do good works incessantly. It does not ask whether there are good works to do, but before the question rises; it has already done them, and is always at the doing of them. He who does not these works is a faithless man. He gropes and looks about after faith and good works, and knows neither what faith is nor what good works are, though he talks and talks, with many words, about faith and good works.

Titus 3:14 (note) — And let our people also learn to engage in good deeds to meet pressing needs, that they may not be unfruitful.
1Ti 5:10 — having a reputation for good works; and if she has brought up children, if she has shown hospitality to strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has assisted those in distress, and if she has devoted herself to every good work.
2Co 9:8 — (How can we do good works? The context here refers to giving money but the grace principle is applicable to all good works) And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed;
