Pray for Families (Protect and Guide)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

 

As we glide into September, many are sending their children off to new jobs, away to college, or maybe just keeping their children home for school. For me, having kids far away (even if they are “adults”) seems more difficult now. Others may not have children, but worry about their aging parent(s). As riots continue to spring up all around, as hate speech increases, as conservative views are muzzled, and as a presidential election approaches which will result in riots regardless of the outcome, my parental heart is heavier as I reflect on the state of this country and our world. 

 

Let us pray, not only for children who live far away from us, but for parents and other relatives who may feel more vulnerable in these times. 

 

You, O LORD, protect us always; preserve us from this generation.  

Psalm 12:8

 

Gracious God, you shelter all who call out to you. Please also shelter those we pray for. Send them additional angels to protect and guard them. Send the Light of Truth to guide them. Replace our own worry with trust. It is for these times you have made us and for these times you have equipped us. Enlighten our minds that we may discern the truth. Open our ears that we may hear the gentle voice of your Blessed Mother, asking us to take her hand that she may show us the way and lead us to You. Amen.

 

Jesus, we trust in You! 

 

Peace, Joy, and Love, 

Janet
