Pray for Families (Acknowledging the Price)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,


How easy it is to become mad at the Lord when things don’t go our way. As if we are entitled to a perfect life! How quickly we forget that our life was purchased for a price. While we all deserve perdition, Christ ransomed us. Let us ponder that and shift from anger to gratitude.


Now if you invoke as Father him who judges impartially according to each one’s works, conduct yourselves with reverence during the time of your sojourning, realizing that you were ransomed from your futile conduct, handed on by your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold but with the precious blood of Christ as of a spotless unblemished lamb. He was known before the foundation of the world but revealed in the final time for you, who through him believe in God who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. 1 Peter 1:17-21


Often, it is family members our hearts break over. Let us gather our voices in prayer as we petition the Lord on behalf of family, and ask that He grant us the faith and hope to persevere in prayer. Let us offer our arduous journey for the conversion of the most hardened souls. 


Peace, Joy, and Love,

Janet


Prayer is a beautiful sacrificial offering. Keep in up and pass it on!
