Praying through 1 Peter: Wednesday

  • Pray for the marriages in our churches: that wives would grow in the imperishable beauty of a quiet and gentle spirit, and that husbands would be loving, humble, Christlike servants to their wives (3:1-7)
  • Pray that unity, sympathy, brotherly love, compassion and humility might grow in our congregation (3:8-9)
  • Pray that our tongues would be guarded from uncharitable, ungracious conversation; that we would be a people who turn away from evil and do good, seeking and pursuing peace (3:10-11)
  • That Christ would be set apart in our hearts, and that we would live lives that cannot be explained without the hope of Jesus Christ, and that we would be ready to proclaim Him as the answer for our distinctively attractive lives (3:13-17)
  • Praise God that Christ suffered once for sins, that He might bring us to God (3:18)
  • Praise Jesus for triumphing over death, ascending to the Father's right hand where He now rules over all things; pray for the courage and boldness that flows from believing that such a mighty King rules over all for our good and His glory (3:21-22)
