God Made Man: Discovering Your PurposeSample

But the Lord God helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame.

Isaiah 50:7

Dear Father,

I pray for our brothers living beneath the dark cloud of shame. We men encounter so much throughout each day that it's easy to do something, whether intentional or not, that brings us into a sinful relationship. 

This, of course, separates us from You. Shame is another destructive weapon launched by the devil to tarnish the shine of manhood. Please help our brothers to hold themselves and each other accountable through prayer and confession. 

Allow this to help lift the burden of shame we carry. Lift up our brothers and allow them to experience the joy and power of pursuing purity and Your will for their lives. There really is power in the blood. 

In the precious name of Jesus, we pray, Amen
