To Defend and Protect Others

Strong Father,
You created and called us to come to the defense of others – to protect those in danger and intervene on behalf of those who are victims of wrongdoing. When we stand idly by and do nothing, or pass off the responsibility to someone else, others are hurt and harmed because of our passivity. Forgive us for our indifference and our failure to lean into the responsibilities that are ours to carry out. Spur on mature and godly men to lead by example for the next generation. Raise up young men to disconnect from distractions and actively engage in the world around them. Fill men everywhere with faith and fortitude to look out for others. Make them vigilant and willing to do whatever is in their power when the safety and security of others calls for it.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For the Influence of God-Fearing Men on Younger Generations

Lord God,
Our society is seeing a real need for mentorship for young men. They need strong male role models who provide an alternative to counter the narrative of toxic masculinity. Raise up solid mentors who welcome the opportunity to positively influence the younger generation. Make them first men of THE Word, and second, men of their word. Let them model godliness in every area of life, leading with humility, integrity, drive, self-discipline, compassion, and grace. Direct young men to see these examples in other men and seek to emulate them. Move godly women to praise and celebrate these relationships whenever they are evident, realizing that the influence of God-fearing men on young males will bear desirable fruit in families, relationships, and society in general. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
