Pray for Families (Wipe the Slate Clean)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

It’s a new year and who doesn’t love a new start, a reset, a purging of the old, or a fresh outlook? To do so, one must let go of the old; old grudges, old receivables; unfruitful relationships, jaded perspectives, and so on.  To counteract our own resistance, with God’s grace, we can let it go.

Clear out the old yeast, so that you may become a fresh batch of dough, inasmuch as you are unleavened. For our paschal lamb, Christ, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us celebrate the feast, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 1 Corinthians 5:7-8

Lord, help us be a shining light in our family.  We humbly ask for your grace, so that we can wipe our slate clean and loosen our grip on all that restrains our goodness, kindness, and generosity. Come with the fire of your love to purify our intentions, enlighten our minds, reignite our prayer life, and spark our love for others, especially our families.  Give us wisdom as we begin a new year. Extend your bountiful grace to our family, for we know of and trust in your enduring love.

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet

Wipe the slate clean, re-energize, and pass it on!
