Praying from 1 Corinthians 11:3. Themes: Hierarchy, Submission, Christ’s Authority

Dear God, I thank you for reminding me that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. Help me to submit to your authority and to the authority of those you have placed in my life. May I honor and respect those who lead me, and may I always seek to follow your will above all else. Thank you for your love and guidance. Amen.

Verse: But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
1 Corinthians 11:3

This is a Command. The verse is instructing the reader on the hierarchy of authority within the Christian faith. It states that Christ is the head of every man, man is the head of woman, and God is the head of Christ.
