Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Do you ever feel like your spiritual wisdom falls on deaf ears within your family? Do family members roll their eyes when the subject matter of your conversation is spiritual in nature? Do they exchange glances with each other knowingly acknowledging each other’s perceptions of what they perceive to be over the top?
What we really want them to say/think is:
“Where did this man [woman] get such wisdom and mighty deeds?
Matthew 13:54
Most likely that’s not going to happen! But the reality is, you are in good company! Jesus endured this very thing among his community.
And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and in his own house.”
Matthew 13:57
Do not become disheartened, but rather, may it become a motivating spark for you, for you have found a new purpose; to pray for an increase of their faith!
Lord, we pray that how we live our lives becomes a much stronger voice than our words. Grant those we love the gift of faith. May the grace bestowed on our family and loved ones help them discover the spiritual and emotional stability only born of faith. With that growth, may they abound in joy and find true and lasting peace beyond not only their imagination, but ours. Finally, help all of us persevere in prayer for family and one another. Together, we are stronger! Increase our family blessings! Jesus, we trust in You! Amen.
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Ignite someone’s faith. Live as a witness and pray! Pass it on!
