Praying with Paul: 'Exhortations'

Hebrews 13:1-5

Dear Father, hospitable king,

Fill me with brotherly love. Make me a generous provider of hospitality to strangers. Let angels find provision under my roof, even when I don't know who they really are.

Help me remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since I am also in the body.

Help me hold marriage in honor. May my own marriage bed remain forever undefiled.

Keep me from the love of money. Help me be content with what I have, knowing that you will never fail me or forsake me.

In the name of Jesus. Amen.
