Pray for Families (To Never Walk Alone)

Greeting Prayer Warriors,

Life is a journey that is never in a straight line.  We are born into a family and then propelled onto an unknown path. It can be tortuous at times, but we are never meant to walk it alone. We are meant to walk with others and to also be open to allowing others to walk with us. 

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and God of all encouragement, who encourages us in our every affliction, so that we may be able to encourage those who are in any affliction with the encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged by God. For as Christ’s sufferings overflow to us, so through Christ does our encouragement also overflow.  2 Corinthians 1:3-5

Let us pray for those struggling on the path of life.

Lord, help us to remember that in our greatest struggles, there you are.  You so often send family, friends, and even strangers to support us.  Thank you! May we return your kindness by bringing your love and support to others.  We pray for those with family members battling health issues, those crushed by other family issues, and those feeling let down by their life’s circumstances.  We especially pray for those who fear that you have abandoned them. Hear the pleas of each of our hearts, and lift or lighten the physical, emotional, or spiritual burdens of those in most need.  We trust in your mercy and love! Amen.

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted, saves those whose spirit is crushed. Psalm 34:19

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet

Everyone needs encouragement and to feel the love of Christ through others.  Share his love by passing it on!
