Praying from 1 Timothy 5:1 relating to Respect, Brotherhood, Exhortation.

Dear Lord, please help me to remember to treat older men with respect and honor, not rebuking them but exhorting them as I would my own father. And may I treat younger men as brothers, with love and encouragement. Help me to see all men as your children and to treat them with the kindness and compassion that you have shown me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

1 Timothy 5:1
