Pray for Families (The Power of Love)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

 

Now more than ever, we are called to love our family.  Love those who argue with you, disagree with you, snub you, accuse you, and blame you.  Satan, seeks to divide and he is unleashing his power like never before.  His victory is seen in division and divisiveness.  

 

The devil knows how to push every one of our buttons. It is in our complacency that he attacks, catching us off guard and unleashing our worst selves, hoping to stoke the fire of discord in the family.

 

Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground. Ephesians 6:13

 

You were made for times such as these to witness to the Truth.  Immerse yourself in the Word, that Christ’s love may radiate through you and disarm the other, for unexpected and unconditional love changes the soul it touches.  

 

Indeed, the word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating even between soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

 

Lord, we pray for each member of our family and especially for ourselves, for we are weak, overly reactive, easily irritated, and quick to see others’ faults.  Thus, we humble ourselves before you now, asking for the grace to be a powerful witness to Truth and Love. May we not add to the discord, but become peacemakers; not judge, but listen more; not challenge, but question to learn; not react, but respond with patience and kindness. Unify and strengthen our families, Lord. You make all things possible.  In your mercy and compassion, help us bring your light in this darkened world. Amen. 

 

Peace, Joy, and Love,

Janet

 

Love conquers all!  Pass it on!
