Pray for Families (Rebuilding the House)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,


In 1970, nine million children lived in single parent homes.* Over 50 years later that number has more than doubled to 19 million children. The head of household in those single parent homes is predominantly female.  What has happened to the men???  The blame goes in all directions, however, we need to wake up to the fact that when the family crumbles, so does society.


 The LORD said to the satan, “Where have you been?”  Then the satan answered the LORD and said, “Roaming the earth and patrolling it.” Job 2:2


The Evil One works tirelessly to break up the family (or prevent it from being formed). So he attacks the head, (the father, as ordained by God) and reduces them to nothing more than a sperm donor. He also convinces the woman they don’t need the man (only the sperm). In this situation, the child is born without a family or into a family that quickly dissolves. If anyone dared to ask the voiceless children, they would tell you it's not a situation they would ever choose.


Unless the LORD build the house, they labor in vain who build. Psalm 127:1


We need to rebuild and fortify the family, starting with our own. Christ must be at the Center, We need to witness to the truth, even if we ourselves have made mistakes. We need to pray for the words to share, and share the need to pray. This is so important, because our prayer can move mountains!


“Amen, I say to you, if you have faith and do not waver,...even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will be done. Whatever you ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive.” Matthew 21:21-22


We have been given the power to overcome evil. We are children of the Most High King! Let’s use the power we have been given as sons and daughters of God and PRAY for the restoration and building of families! Lord, protect and guide us!


Peace, Joy, and Love, 

Janet
