A Prayer For A Heart Of Godly Wisdom

A prayer Honoring Marriage
A prayer Honoring Marriage

Father, when we gave you our heart, we made the willful choice to no longer conform to the trends and philosophies of this world. Instead, we ask You to daily renew our minds so that we see this world and its philosophies through the eyes of Christ. We are put to the test daily in deciding what is truth and what is an error. May Your Holy Word be our reference point and Your Spirit is our Guide as we are exposed to countless philosophies based on human understanding and the basic principles of this world rather than Your eternal foundational truths. Sharpen our discernment and grant us courage so that we readily know truth from error and are fearless in saying so. In Jesus’ name, we pray.

Amen.

A Prayer For Knowing God

A prayer Honoring Marriage
A prayer Honoring Marriage

Father, indicates that those who knew You neither glorified nor gave thanks to You which led to their futile and foolish thinking.  It eventually caused the light of Your Word to be veiled and ineffective in their lives as darkness crept in and covered the radiant light of Your truth.  They sought honor for themselves and lived for self-glory.  Anything good in us is but a reflection of the Spirit of Christ who resides within, so we will glory only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ though mocked and ridiculed by the world.  We are unashamedly children of God whose depth of wisdom comes not from the understanding of the world but the understanding of Your Word. May its truth always be our source of light in the darkened age in which we live.  In the name of Jesus we pray.

Amen.

A Prayer For God’s Help

Father, we need the prompting of Your Holy Spirit to keep us in check regarding our conduct toward others.  May we not dismiss our improper behavior by blaming it on our upbringing or make up other excuses.  Instead we take responsibility for our behavior as we want to glorify you and be a blessing to others. Would You help us to love people as we want to be loved.  Help us to give the benefit of the doubt as we want others to give us.  Help us to be quick to forgive and slow to anger.  May we treat others in the same way that we ourselves want to be treated.  In the name of Jesus we pray,

Amen.

Bible Verse

Romans 8:26-27 (NIV)

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

A Prayer For The Heart

A prayer Honoring Marriage
A prayer Honoring Marriage

Father, while the world obsesses over outward appearances such as good looks, muscular bodies or perfect figures Your Word is impassioned with teaching regarding the inner heart; the very character of who we are when no one but You are looking. Help us to be more concerned what You see on the inside than what others view from the outside. Peace, joy and love come from within the soul and no outward adornment, fashion accessory or muscular frame can produce or duplicate those fruit of the Spirit. Help us to be slow to judge and quick to pray for those who are different from us and help us to see them and love them as Jesus does. It is in His name that we pray. Amen.
