It is important to treasure the gift of family God has given us. There are so many around us that are alone and don’t have the blessing that God has given us. So, let’s don’t take it for granted but cherish our family members and reach out to those who are less fortunate. Prayer is communion with the Lord, and He listens to our heart’s desire and draws close to us as we draw close to Him. He created the family unit and as we seek the Lord for our family He will answer.
Dear Heavenly Father,
I give You all praise and thank You for uniting us together as a family. I honour You as Head of our home in all that is said and done so Your name may be glorified. Penetrate our hearts with You love so we may show forth love and kindness to each other with an understanding that You created each one of us differently. Help us to be patient with one another so Your peace will dwell within these walls and follow wherever You lead us throughout the day. As You continue the work You have begun in each one of us may we become more aware of Your desire for us to be more like You.
I first bring to Your throne room all of my children and grandchildren whom You have blessed me with to love, nurture and cover in prayer daily…
{names of all my children and grandchildren inserted here}
I thank You Father for each one of them for they are a sweet gift from You that I cherish. I believe in Your promise in Isaiah 54:13 that all my children will be taught by the Lord and they shall experience Your great peace. I also want to lift up all other family members such as nephews, nieces, brothers, sisters, cousins, etc. for they a gift as well that I cherish from You. May we have a heart of forgiveness towards each other as You have forgiven us. May each word spoken speak life and never tear down but only build up, to glorify Your name. I pray for divine health, protection, prosperity and great success in all You have called them to do. I pray You will meet their every need this day and may they receive the desire of their heart according to Your will. I pray Your loving presence surrounds them and I cast off and destroy the enemy as he tries to come against them in Jesus name. No weapon formed against them shall prosper and every word that rises against them I shall condemn for it is my inheritance from You. I cover each one in the blood of Jesus and release the Holy Spirit to continue the work in each one as You have planned. May they always love and seek You first in everything and may they live in the fullness of Your joy. I thank You for the dreams You have planted in their hearts and I glorify Your name Father for the great and mighty things You will do in and through them this day and in the future. Thank You Father for I know You have heard this prayer of my heart that I will pray daily over my family.
In Jesus name, Amen & Amen.
Isaiah 54:13,17. Col. 3:13, Col. 4:6, Eph.6:4, Eph. 4:29, 1 Cor. 13.
