Praying with Paul: 'Relationships'

Colossians 3:18-4:1

Dear Father,

May Christian wives and husbands relate to each other as is fitting in the Lord, with subjection and kindness.

May children obey their parents and may parents not provoke the children.

May we work at our jobs in ways which will put honoring you above trying to please someone.

Whatever our tasks, help us to work heartily, serving you.

Help us all to treat each other fairly in all our relationships.

In the name of Jesus I ask. Amen.
