Praying for Our Church | Day 11

Praying for our Men’s Ministry

Lord, I lift up our Men’s Ministry to You. Use this ministry to build our men in their faith. Teach them to be in right relationship to You and each other, to love their wives sacrificially and to in- struct their children with patience. Encourage them to hold each other accountable as they carry each oth- er’s burdens. May they speak the truth in love to each other even when its hard. (Jude 1:20; Titus 2:2; 1 Tim. 5:1; Eph. 5:25, 6:4; Gal. 6:2; Eph. 4:15; Prov. 27:6)

Jude 1:20

But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit,

Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness.

1 Timothy 5:1

Do not rebuke an older man but encourage him as you would a father, younger men as brothers,

Ephesians 5:25, 6:4

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,

Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Ephesians 4:15

Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,

Proverbs 27:6

Faithful are the wounds of a friend;
profuse are the kisses of an enemy.
