Grace for Great Relationships.

Day 1:

Psa 34: 1, Isa 42:16, John 13:34-35, John 14:25, John 15:15-16, Isa 11:1-2, Isai 42:8 

  • Thank the Lord for bringing us into this new month of February. Thank Him for persevering us, guiding and ordering our steps. Thank Him for leading us through the path we never knew existed. Thank Him for making darkness light before us and making every crooked path straight. 
  • Lord, we pray that in our relationships, we will do only what is beneficial and delight in God’s law (1 Cor. 6: 12-13; Rom. 7:22-25)
  • We pray that we will not give ourselves over to sensuality to indulge in every kind of impurity (Eph. 4:19; 1 Thess. 5:22)
  • Grace for spiritual discipline to guard the heart, keep the mouth free of perversity and keep corrupt talk far from our lips. (Prov. 4:23-24)
  • We will not let sin reign in our mortal body to obey its lusts, and we will not go on presenting the members of our body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present ourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and our members as instruments of righteousness to God. (Romans 6:12-14: 12)
  • We pray for the boldness not to conform to this world, but to be transformed by the renewal of our mind, that by testing you may discern what the will of God is.


Day 2:
  
Ephesians 5:21-32; Psalms 147:3; Ps. 1:2; Prov. 2:1-3; Ps. 119:9-11; Rom. 12:2; Gal. 5:16-18; 1 Cor. 6:19-20.
  • We pray that we will focus our mind and spirit on whatever is true, honourable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent, and worthy of praise (Philippians 4:8).
  • We believe God for healing over every hurting heart and relationship. Restoration of emotion and affection. Transformation and revival for stalemated relationship. Healing for capacity to build lasting relationships.
  • May relationship seekers be guided, found, and become established. We pray that married couples will not trivialise or undervalue mutual intimacy and companionship in their marriages.
  • We believe God for wisdom for families to devise short-term and long-term goals. Provision of resources and capacities to achieve goals this year. Fulfilment of dreams to become bigger than the dysfunction of our shortcomings as families. May all parents increase in grace to model godly leadership for their children to emulate. 
  • We pray for positive and productive workplace relationship and activities. 
  • We receive wisdom to navigate challenging situations at work and within friendship groups. We receive wisdom for mental and emotional health and discipline to set healthy boundaries.
