Prayer for my Character

Ephesians 4:1 So I, the prisoner for the Lord, appeal to you to live a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called [that is, to live a life that exhibits godly character, moral courage, personal integrity, and mature behavior].

Holy Father, the one in whom there is no fault or error; how worthy you are! I acknowledge that I am flawed, but you are perfect; I am weak, but in you lies all power. 

Lord, I don’t want to appear beautiful on the outside, but inside, I am filthy. Please deliver me from every hint of pride and self-righteousness. Clothe me with a spirit of meekness, and flood my heart with love. Help me not be quick to pass judgement but instead extend grace, lifting up the fallen and weak. Teach me to be slow to speak, quick to listen, and slow to anger. Create in me a clean heart of God, and renew a right spirit within me. I surrender my entire being to you; help me live a life worthy of the salvation I have received. Lord, I don’t just want to do the right thing, but please help me have the right motives. 

As I take on my daily tasks and go through life’s challenges, Lord, please help me always respond with love and grace and not allow my emotions or flesh to control me. Help me to show integrity, exercise self-control, and use wisdom. I pray that the fruit of the Spirit will abound in my life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. I pray for humility like Moses, selflessness like Ruth, kindness like the Good Samaritan, compassion like Joseph, and above all, the love, character, and mind of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

  1. I was feeling betrayed and sad by my family who spends time with my ex husband who stole all my money. Left my home in arrears and I got loans that I’m still paying for all. I was hurt and betrayed please pray for Me , I am the outcast of the family. I care for my son who stays with me my family invited me for my sister birthday but I did not know my ex husband would be Conducting it. I want to now only care for the sick, the those in prison, those in children homes and abandoned in life. Thankyou Jodi for your prayers please remember in prayer 🙏
