God Made Man: Discovering Your PurposeSample

But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God

1 Corinthians 11:3

Dear Lord, 

Praise You for family. Thank You for our parents and siblings. Father, we know not every family unit is supportive, caring, or intact, but that doesn't prohibit the need to honor our mother and father. 

Your word says nothing about judging our earthly parents, but that we are to honor them. I pray that if there is pain associated with a brother's family, that the model of honoring despite the injuries will allow them to follow Your example as being a Godly father to their kids so that the cycle of family dysfunction and strife ends at their generation.  

Father, You are a good, good Father. We men can do better through You. I pray that Your heart for family will shine through to brothers still in the struggle to be the head of their household.

In the precious name of Jesus, we pray, Amen

Manly Challenge

If God came back at this very moment, where would you go? Explain why you feel that way.
