1 Peter 2 & 3

Lord, I thank you that, by your grace and the unction of your Holy Spirit, I have returned to you, the Shepherd and Bishop of my soul. Father, give me understanding of my wife that I will be a perfect husband for her.

Lead me, Holy Spirit, that I will meet her needs and guard over her that we can be one together and heirs together of the grace of life; that our prayers would be pleasing and rise to you unhindered.

Give us one mind, Father, that we will have compassion for one another; that we will be tenderhearted and courteous, and not hateful. On the contrary, Father, fill us and convert us that we will bless you and each other.

Father, today, led by your Holy Spirit, I do not speak evil; I speak the truth in love; I do good; I seek peace in all my matters. You watch over me, Lord, and you hear my prayers.

I sanctify the Lord Jesus in my heart, and I meditate on all the reasons for hope that I have from you, Father, through Christ.
