Pray for Families (Beloved by the Beloved)

Greetings Prayer Warriors, 


With each successive generation, we and/or family members seem to become more self- deprecating.  Social media does much to fuel it. One tells themselves they are “not enough” because someone along the way told them so and they believed it. Internal voices, on constant repeat say, “you are not good-looking enough, secure enough, smart enough, successful enough, or wealthy enough. If only you were so, you would be worthy of love”. The resulting feelings of abandonment, confusion, and feeling unworthy, lead one to feel they are destined to always fall short.  These lies of Satan keep on multiplying, forever mocking his targets. 

 

But the Lord wants you to know that YOU were made for love, and are his very beloved. Anything else you think or feel is a lie. He loves you, for how could he not treasure the child he made in his image and likeness?

 

In love he destined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, in accord with the favor of his will, for the praise of the glory of his grace that he granted us in the beloved. In him we have redemption by his blood, the forgiveness of transgressions, in accord with the riches of his grace. Ephesians 1:5-7

 

Accept your belovedness!  Satan is jealous!

 

I belong to my lover, and my lover belongs to me.  Song of Songs 6:3

 

Reject the lies of the Evil One!

 

Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.  Romans 12:2

 

Lord, we ask you to open our hearts to the Truth, which enables us to understand that we are loved with an unfathomable love. Help us guide our family members into that truth as well. May we denounce all that tells us otherwise and one day come to the realization that we are “the one whom Jesus loved”.

 

Peace, Joy, and Love,

Janet

 

Tell a family member that they are loved! Pass it on!
