Pray for the Family

Lord God, my family and families everywhere are facing one dilemma after another. There is so much despair and confusion surrounding our immediate and extended families that support systems are deteriorating all around us. We all need a comforting word from you.

Give us more wisdom and a listening ear to you, whether directly or through your printed word in the Bible. Help us to stop leaning to our own understanding.

The Lord is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation."

We take comfort in knowing that you are our strength in every situation. Open our eyes to follow the path that you have set before us. Help us to become more aware of our sins and we ask for your forgiveness right now in the name of Jesus. We ask that you continue to shed your grace and mercy upon us as we seek more knowledge and greater understanding of all that you have in store for our families. We pray today in the name of your son Jesus Christ. Amen
