A Prayer For Moral Purity

A prayer Honoring Marriage

Father, it is Your desire that we stay faithful to Your teachings. Scripture gives many examples of those who knew to do right, but chose to do wrong. The consequences of their wrong actions inflicted a great deal of loss, life-long regret and emotional pain. Help us to avoid the traps Satan has set for the believers by not only reading the Word, but applying its truth to our lives, and standing firm when the temptation to do wrong is ever before us.
Amen

A Prayer For Standing Firm In The Faith

Father, we desire to abound in good works, all the while making Your grace and love known to people all over this world. In ourselves we are frail and lack in so many ways, but in You we are able to overcome the evil one and take a stand against his schemes. Sometimes the daily battles leave us feeling a bit disheartened, weary, and even wounded at times. But we thank You for the presence of Your abiding Holy Spirit who encourages us and leads us forward in this daily conflict. Help us to praise You and trust You for the victory as the hymn says, “Hell’s foundations quiver at the shout of praise; brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.” We raise to You our anthems of praise and our prayers of thanksgiving through Jesus our Lord.

Amen.

A Prayer For Peace

Father, the cares of this world often press in on us and weigh our hearts down.  It’s not your desire that we carry a heavy load because You are the Burden Bearer.  You use the difficult circumstances of our lives to bring glory to Yourself as You bring spiritual maturity into our relationship with You.  Our faith is strengthened and our understanding deepened as You take the evil that Satan hurls at us and turn it into glorious occasion for Your power to be released and deliverance to take place.  You are the same God who led us into battle that will also lead us to victory in Jesus name, Amen.
