Greetings Prayer Warriors,
How many of you have children or perhaps other family members you worry about because they have wandered or even run away from God? By the mere fact that you are reading this, you most likely find it concerning. Yet how long was your own journey to truly loving the Lord? Did he not continually seek you out and continue to recommend new paths, all with a gentle voice and unwavering patience? Did he not bring special people into your life, those who made you question your ways? Did he not beckon you to come closer, even when you thought you already were faithful? Such a Good Shepherd we have!
I saw their ways, but I will heal them. I will lead them and restore full comfort to them and to those who mourn for them, creating words of comfort. Peace! Peace to those who are far and near, says the LORD; and I will heal them. Isaiah 57:18-19
Give glory to God and thank Him for drawing you into a prayerful life. Offer a sacrifice of joy to Him who loves your family even more than you do! With thanksgiving, pray for your family and surrender each member into His loving hands, asking that He guide, love, reprimand, and strengthen them on their journey towards Him.
I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and chant praise to the LORD. Psalms 27:6
Lord, hear the prayers that each reader prays in their heart for their loved ones. Be generous with your grace, protective with your hands, and loving with your gaze. Break the chains that bring about anxiety and depression. May your boundless mercy buoy each one out of the pits of despair, self-loathing, and narcissism. Ground them in the Truth, for we have complete trust that by your grace, all will be singing you songs of praise!
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Hope does not disappoint! Pass it on!
