Heavenly Father, thank You for the wonderful way that You ordained marriage, and implemented the governance of the individual home, where a wife is submissive to her husband – as head of the family. May Christian husbands and wives be ready and willing to follow Scripture’s clear instructions on marriages, and live as You ordained, from the beginning – for Your greater praise and glory. We pray for the salvation of many unsaved men, who are the husbands of Christian women – and pray, that in Your grace, their godly conduct will attract their husbands into a saving faith in the Lord Jesus, in Whose name we pray, AMEN.

Loving Father, let me not be swayed by the vanity of the world but clothe myself in humility of heart and gentleness of spirit, and may I reflect the beauty of the Lord Jesus in all I say and do - to His praise and glory, in His name I pray, AMEN.

Heavenly Father, I pray that I would let the hidden person of my heart produce the beautiful fruit of the Spirit, which is so precious in Your sight. Prevent me from developing ostentatious behaviours, that are so unseemly and help me to seek after the imperishable qualities of a gentle and quiet spirit. I pray that Christian women everywhere would recognise the eternal value of growing in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus and pray that in my own marriage and relationships I would honour You in spirit and in truth - this I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.

Heavenly Father, thank You for the lessons that can be learned from holy women and men of God. May we seek to live according to Your perfect plan and purposes, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit – to Your eternal praise and everlasting glory. This I ask in Jesus name, AMEN.

Heavenly Father, thank you for the wise instructions Peter gives on the role of husbands and wives in his extended passage on godly conduct within Christian marriages. We hold up Christian couples throughout the world and pray that both husbands and their wives would seek to honour one another in their complimentary roles. May wives be ready and willing to submit to their husbands just as Christ submitted his life to His heavenly Father and we pray that husbands would fulfil their God-given order as the head of the family and show love and understanding to their wife and demonstrate to a fallen world the beauty of God's order. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.

Loving Lord how I desire to apply this gentle spirit of compassion, humility and love into my life so that I may be an example of a godly believer and give glory to Your holy name – help me Lord to apply this in my life to Your praise and glory, in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.

Dear heavenly Father, I want to walk in spirit and truth. Help me I pray to do all that You have called me to do in the power of the holy Spirit for You have promised that Your grace is sufficient for all eventualities of life, in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.

Heavenly Father, Thank You for my life and I pray that through my actions and attitude I may become a real encouragement to others – to Your praise and glory, in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.

Loving Father, I pray that day by day I may grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus for in searching for Him who is the Prince of Peace I know that Iwill find and keep His perfect peace in my heart – to Whom be glory and honour for ever and ever, AMEN.

Heavenly Father, thank You that Your eyes are over those that are cleansed by the blood of the Lamb and that Your ears are ever open to our prayers. Have mercy on those that have not accepted Your gracious offer of salvation and use me as a witness to Your goodness and grace - in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.

Heavenly Father, thank You that there is nothing in earth or heaven, visible or invisible that can separate us from Your love - for those that are in Christ Jesus. I pray that I may be zealous to live as You have instructed and to earnestly seek after that which is good, to Your praise and gory. This I ask in Jesus name, AMEN.

Heavenly Father, I thank You that I have been redeemed by the blood of Christ, and my desire is to be fully sanctified unto Him, and to offer my body as a living sacrifice - holy and acceptable unto God. Guard my heart and guide my speech I pray.. and give me wisdom to be able to give an answer for the hope that is in me.. and to give a defence for my trust in Christ and the blessed hope that I have in Him. And Lord, I pray that by the power of Your Holy Spirit that I would be able to answer everyone, who asks me about my faith in Christ - in gentleness and reverence - to Your praise and glory, in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.

Thank You Father that Christ was wiling to suffer in my place, for my sins. Thank You that He was willing to lay down His life for me, so that by His death He could bring me to God. Thank You that His work on the cross is finished and that there is nothing that I need to do - but to believe on His name, AMEN.

Heavenly Father, thank You for the wonderful truth that because I am IN Christ I have been saved from the fierce “baptism of fire”, which is reserved for those who do not believe in the only begotten Son of God. Thank You for the illustration of Noah, who remained safe IN the Ark from the destructive flood-waters of judgement and that I have been “baptised into Christ’s body” by the power of the Spirit and am identified with His death, burial and resurrection. Thank You that His death became MY death and His burial became MY burial and that through Christ’s resurrection, I have a received a good conscience before God. May I walk daily in newness of life for Your honour and glory – this I ask in Jesus’ name, AMEN.
