1 Timothy 3:1-13
Dear Father,
Give in whatever measure you please the qualities of elders and deacons to all your people, even to me. Help me desire tasks that are a noble work to you. Help me to live above reproach, to be proper in my family relations, to be temperate, sensible, dignified, hospitable, sober, and gentle.
Help me manage my affairs properly and command the respect of my family and outsiders. Help me serve you well in whatever capacity you allot, that I may gain a good standing and great confidence in my faith in Christ.
Keep me from becoming puffed up or conceited. Don't let me fall into the condemnation of the devil.
In the name of Jesus. Amen.
