Let us bring your ### before the throne of grace, seeking God's will for his life and his relationships. We pray that he will exemplify the character of Christ, especially towards family members and his Christian ###.
We are reminded of the words of the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 4:32 WEB: "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." We pray that your ### will embody this verse, showing kindness, tenderheartedness, and forgiveness to all those around him.
Let us also remember the words of Jesus in John 13:35 WEB: "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." We pray that your ###'s love for his family and his Christian ### will be a testament to his discipleship in Christ.
If your ### has not been acting in a Christ-like manner, we gently rebuke him in love, as instructed in Titus 2:11-12 WEB: "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world." We encourage him to deny ungodliness and worldly desires, and to live soberly, righteously, and godly.
We also pray that your ### will be filled with the fruits of the Spirit, as listed in Galatians 5:22-23 WEB: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law." We pray that these fruits will be evident in his life and in his relationships.
Father, we lift up our ###'s ### before you. We ask that you will work in his life, molding him into the image of Christ. Help him to be a shining example of your love and grace to his family and his Christian ###. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we must remember that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." We encourage you and your ### to continually seek Jesus and to pray in His name.
