Ephesians 4:25-27

S ~
O ~ Speak the truth and it is okay to be angry but not to a point as to where it consumes you.
A ~ I am not to pretend to be something I am not and I should always speak the truth.  I remember my Momma telling me as a teenage not to let the sun set on my anger, to forgive and to move on with life.
P ~ Dear Father let me always be truthful with my family, friends and yes with my neighbor.  Father God let me things the way you want me to and when I am angry help me to forgive, Amen

Ephesians 4:20-24

S ~

O ~ The old me is gone and I have been renewed in the Spirit.
A ~ I need to walk the talk and lead by example.
P ~ Father God thank you, thank you for the new life you have given me.  You have made me in Christ image and I pray that other will see Him living in me, Amen


Ephesians 4:17-19

S ~

O ~ I am no longer a Gentile and I need to keep my mind off immoral things.

A ~ I am to walk as a child of God with my mind focused on Him.

P ~ Father God thank you for the abundant blessings you give me every day.  Help me to keep my mind focused on You and the work you have given me to do.  Help me to let the example of Your Son Jesus Christ shine through me, Amen

Ephesians 4:14-16

S ~
O ~ We are not to act like little children wanting our way in every thing.  We are to act like a mature person wanting only the best for every one.  We are to grow together in unity in Christ Jesus and become one body, growing and working together building the body in love for God's glory.

A ~ I need not to try and do things on my own.  I am a part of the body of Christ.

P ~ Father God help me to look to you and do the things you want me to do, Amen

Ephesians 4:11-13

S ~



O ~ He knew us from the beginning, He knew what we were capable of, so He gave each of us the ability needed to build the body of Christ.  We were to be one body, unified for the glory of God.

A ~ I am to use the abilities He blessed with.  I may not think I can do it because it doesn't fit into my plans but God may have different plans for me.  I need to wait, trust and have faith to accomplish the task He has for me.

P ~ Father God let all things I do be done to glorify You and Your Son, Amen.
