1 Peter 3 - Praying God's Word

Please read 1 Peter 3.

Meditate on verse 8.

To sum up, all of you be harmonious,

 sympathetic, brotherly,

kindhearted, and humble in spirit.

Peter shepherded wives, husbands, and everyone in 1 Peter 3. Wives were exhorted to submit to their own husbands in the same way Jesus submitted to God the Father. Husbands were exhorted to understand and honor their wives. And everybody was to bless others.

Remember the Word of God is enduring (1 Peter 1:23), and it is the wisdom of God versus demonic wisdom (James 3:15). The exhortations in 1 Peter 3 have not changed or become old-fashioned. God still says, “Wives submit to your own husbands. Your gentle and quiet spirit is precious in My sight. Husbands live with your wives in an understanding way and honor her as a fellow heir of My grace, so I will hear your prayers.”

This is timeless truth that improves marriage relationships. Pray 1 Peter 3:8-9 over the relationships you guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 “LORD, please help _________ and me
be harmonious, sympathetic,


brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit.

Do not let us return evil for evil or insult for insult,

but let us give a blessing instead


because we were called for that very purpose


so that we might inherit a blessing.


In Your name, Jesus~”
