Dear God,

We thank you for the love and grace you have given us. We pray that you strengthen us with your power and might so that we live a life worthy of the calling we have received, for you have called all of us.

Help us be humble, gentle, patient and endure one another in love. We hope to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace with all believers. Please give us the wisdom and strength to do that.

Guide us in the path of righteousness and help us remove all bitterness, anger, and malice from our hearts. We pray that you bless us with the knowledge of your will and give us the wisdom to discern what is right and just. Guide us in our interactions with others so our words may always be filled with your grace.

We ask that you protect us from all evil and help us stand firm against the devil’s schemes. Grant us the strength to resist temptation and to live a life that is pleasing to you.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
