Pray for Families (The Heart of the Matter)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

Families are the heartbeat of our culture, and if God is at the center of the family, we are flooded with peace, love, hope, trust, and renewed faith. Subsequently, we become beacons of Christ’s Light in the world. However, when families are broken down, and God is moved aside not only in the home but in the communities, anxiety, heartache, disappointment, and disillusionment enter in, and our world becomes darker. 

So, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him, rooted in him and built upon him and established in the faith as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. See to it that no one captivate you with an empty, seductive philosophy according to human tradition, according to the elemental powers of the world and not according to Christ. Colossians 2:6-8

Perhaps your children, your spouse, your grandkids, or other relatives have lost their faith and you are seeing that ripple through the family tree. Don’t despair because hope remains. It is for these times and as in other times throughout history, that Jesus suffered for us, allowing His heart to be pierced that all may have new life. Blood symbolizes life, and it was through His death, Christ expiated our sins, transfusing us with new life. He is the source of all consolation, reconciliation, and peace. He is the fountain of all holiness and rich is his mercy. He is our resurrection and the hope of all those who trust in Him. 

What a beautiful, Sacred Heart!  Let us praise Him as we pray for an outpouring of His love and grace! Bring Him into the heart of the matter for He is the ultimate life support. Place those that are causing you the most heartache into his most Sacred Heart.  May he renew them with each heartbeat, refresh them with his merciful love, and ignite a fire of within their hearts for Christ.

“Behold, I make all things new.” Then he said, “Write these words down, for they are trustworthy and true.”  Revelation 21:5

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet

Return to the heart of the matter. Pass it on!
