Heavenly Father, thank You for Paul's simple, but important teaching on anger issues. I pray that I may be ready and willing to express anger against sin, and the things that grieve Your heart, in a godly and righteous way, that honours Your name, but I also pray that I would recognise any fleshly emotions, which motivate me toward unrighteous anger. Help me not to let the sun go down on my wrath and may I never give the enemy a foothold in my life, either directly - through fleshly anger, or indirectly - by allowing legitimate, righteous anger to deteriorate into a self-righteous attitude. Give me wisdom I pray, and a discerning heart to know when to be angry, without sinning so that the testimony I present may be for Your honour and glory, this I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the many privileges that are mine in Christ Jesus and that in Him I have all that I need for life and godliness.

Keep me from the deceitful lies of the enemy and help me remain in Christ moment by moment, as I take every thought captive to Him and walk in spirit and truth for Your greater glory. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, as I read through the many instructions we receive on godly living and Christlike behaviour, I recognise that it is not a superficial change in my outward behaviour that is important, but an inner change in the deep recesses of my being... a change of character that reflects the life of Christ within. Forgive me for the times I have stolen from others, whether it be in goods; motive; reputation or in some other more subtle way. I pray that in thought, word and deed my actions and attitude would be pure and noble and would honour Your holy name. Bestow on me a generous spirit, so I may be cheerful in my giving and compassionate in my heart towards others - this I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father I pray that no unwholesome words would proceed from my mouth, but that the words of my lips and the meditation of my heart may be gracious and good. I pray that my speech would edify my brothers and sisters in Christ and honour Your name by speaking the truth in love. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father keep me I pray from all those things that grieve You Spirit and cause destruction to my soul. Rather may I live unto the Lord in humility of heart and gentility of spirit, in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, forgive me for any bitterness that I have harboured in my heart against You or others. Thank You that I have been forgiven by grace through faith in Christ. Help me to live my life as unto Him and help me to be slow to anger, quick to forgive and abounding in steadfast love, kindness, compassion, forgiveness and grace - to the glory of Christ in Whose name I pray, AMEN.
Loving heavenly Father, Thank You for Your grace, Your mercy, Your love and Your immeasurable forgiveness towards me. May I reflect You in my thoughts, words and deeds and I pray that I will be kind, compassionate and forgiving towards others just as You forgave me, in Christ, in Whose name I pray, AMEN.
