The Resolution Prayer Covenant!

THE RESOLUTION PRAYER COVENANT​

"I do solemnly resolve before God to take full responsibility for myself, my wife, and my children. I WILL love them, protect them, serve them, and teach them the Word of God as the spiritual leader of my home. I WILL be faithful to my wife, to love and honor her, and be willing to lay down my life for her as Jesus Christ did for me. I WILL bless my children and teach them to love God with all of their hearts, all of their minds, and all of their strength. I WILL train them to honor authority and live responsibly. I WILL confront evil, pursue justice, and love mercy. I WILL pray for others and treat them with kindness, respect, and compassion. I WILL work diligently to provide for the needs of my family. I WILL forgive those who have wronged me and reconcile with those I have wronged. I WILL learn from my mistakes, repent of my sins, and walk with integrity as a man answerable to God. I WILL seek to honor God, be faithful to His church, obey His Word, and do His will. I WILL courageously work with the strength God provides to fulfill this resolution for the rest of my life and for His glory. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. ---Joshua 24:15"

Dear Bible man
With all due respect, this prayer sounds a little presumptuous, as though you are relying upon yourself, which is we are never told to do in the Bible, for in it says in
Psalm 73:
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.

Thanks for your comments about the resolution prayer. I did not write the prayer; I just quoted it on the site. I thought it would be good for people to read so they have an idea of what their God-given responsibilities are as a Father or husband. We need to be committed to our families. There is way too much divorce and remarriage today. Again, thanks.
