Help him to know You better, to understand Your ways, and to see things from Your perspective. Help him to view the two of us the way You do. Make changes in him that need to be made so that nothing will hinder him fromfulfilling the purpose and destiny You have for his life and our lives together.Lord, fill his heart with Your love so that it overflows in the words he speaks. Help him to understand the consequences for any careless or hurtful words and Lies. Help us both to be more discerning about what wounds the heart of the other. Speak through us so that our words to each other will be Your words. Help us to be instruments of Your peace and grace everytime we speak to each other. Convict his heart oftimes he has lied and said things that hurt me and did not glorify You. Enable him o speak words of life and not death, words that build up and not tear down. Increase his (her) knowledge of Your ways so that he will refuse to speak negatively. Help him to communicate openly, and not allow a cold silence to exist between us.Lord, help Steve to be honest about everything.Convict his heart about any lies he has told me or anyone else, and break down any thought in him that lying isacceptable, or that there are different versions of the truth. Strengthen him )to resist the father of all lies and refuse to fall into any temptation to lie (John 8:44). Help him to stop all deceit (1 Peter 2:1). May he refuse to be snared by his own words (Proverbs 6:2). May there be no division between us, because we are of the same mind and have the same good judgment(1 Corinthians 1:10). Where he has not communicated well inthe past, help him to do so now. Thank You that You are ourock and our Redeemer, and You can redeem all things (Psalm 78:35). In Jesus’ name I pray
