Greetings Prayer Warriors,
A spiritual battle has been raging for centuries, but in the last 50-60 years, Satan has made great strides in influencing the culture to deride, demean, mischaracterize and label masculinity as “toxic”. There is little wonder why men have become more effeminate. Many women now view men as unnecessary as a spouse or father. Conversely, many men see no need for marriage because they are not deprived in any way without it. Additionally, men have relinquished all responsibility toward women they impregnate since women no longer “need” them. A whopping 40% of all births in the U.S. are to unmarried women. As the breakdown of the family unit has progressed over the decades, we can now see its devastation on the family, society, and even on the identity of children.
You belong to your father the devil and you willingly carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks in character, because he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44
We must grow in faith! We must pray for fatherhood, motherhood, and ultimately the unification of parenthood for the protection of children.
Heavenly Father, you understand Fatherhood like no other. When you made man, you made him with a purpose in mind. For most men, it was to mature into manhood, marry, love, protect, provide, support, and be fruitful with his spouse, and be the spiritual leader in the family. You also made women with a unique purpose; to mature into womanhood, marry, love, support, honor, and be a helpmate to their husband, and to bring life into the world and to nurture their offspring. Lord, we have gone WAY off course. As we have forged our independence, we have minimized the need for marriage and true partnership. As we have delegated our parenting, we have opened the doors for the government to indoctrinate our children with false ideologies. Come Lord Jesus and flood us with your grace! The only reset necessary is in the family! Purge our hearts and minds of all the falsehoods, pride, vanity, lust, selfishness, and greed that have led us down this destructive path. Help us to grow in humility and a greater dependence on You. Help men to denounce the “toxic” lies that surround them, and bring them closer to the heart of the Father. Help women to value their femininity and embrace the gift you gave solely to them, that of being life-bearers. Give each the courage to fully accept the responsibility of parenthood. Light or reignite the fire of their faith, so that they may be faithful teachers and examples of the Gospel within their families. Loving Father, hear the personal prayers of each of these prayer warriors, as they share their own unique petitions with you now... ( X U W & W V X )
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and without blemish before him. Ephesians 1:3-4
Peace, Joy, and Love,

God’s plan is always the best! Pass it on!
