Pray for Families (A Light for this World)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

 

Peace be with you!  John 20:19

 

We are only one week into the new year, and all I can say is, “wow”. Or maybe “ow” is more fitting. While the Lord seeks to unite, Satan seeks to divide. The spiritual battle in gaining momentum.  

 

Satan seeks to create division not just throughout the world, but right in your home, since families are the building blocks of society.  He is the Father of Lies, and will distort the truth, increase confusion, stoke bitterness, and eagerly wait to catch you in his snare. 

 

I urge you all to control what you can. Ramp up your prayer, seek holiness, and reconcile with God.  To do so, you must reconcile with family members first, then friends, coworkers, etc.  If you hold on to resentment, ask God for the grace to forgive.  If you struggle with jealously, ask for the virtue of kindness. If you are short-tempered, ask to be showered with the graces necessary for to grow in patience. 

 

His divine power has bestowed on us everything that makes for life and devotion, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and power. Through these, he has bestowed on us the precious and very great promises, so that through them you may come to share in the divine nature, after escaping from the corruption that is in the world because of evil desire. For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, virtue with knowledge, knowledge with self-control, self-control with endurance, endurance with devotion, devotion with mutual affection, mutual affection with love. 2 Peter 1:3-7

 

Now more than ever, you need a shelter of Love.  Continue to grow in the knowledge and love of Christ by inviting Him into your family. He will chase away the darkness and use you to bring much needed light into this darkened world.

 

Who [indeed] is the victor over the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?  1 John 5:5

 

Peace, Joy, and Love,

Janet

 

Christ is the answer! Pass it on!
