🙏 Blessing & Honor of Patriarchal and Matriarchal Figures, Eph 6:2-3... Spiritual, Emotional, Physical & Temporal Edification, Support, Fruitfulness

[Nochaeld]

Blessing, Honor, GRACE for Patriarchal and Matriarchal Figures... Father, thank You for commanding us to honor our parents, Eph 6:1-3 -- for all Family, Powerfully provide everything they need for life and godliness, 2 Peter 1:3, emotional & bodily health and prosperity, even as their souls prosper, 3 Jn 1:2. We ask they GROW in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, 2 Pet 3:18. Help them be established in the elementary principles of the Word of God, Heb 5:12, the foundational doctrines of the faith, Heb 6:1-3, and grow up into maturity, Eph 4:15, Col 1:10, culminating in love and fullness of the Holy Spirit's fruit, Phil 1:9-11; Gal 5:22-23.

Open the eyes of our understanding with The Holy Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation, Eph 1:17-18, strengthen us by rooting and grounding us in love, that Christ dwells in our hearts by faith, Eph 3:16-19, and open our minds to not only understand the Scriptures, Luke 24:45, but to crave the sincere milk of the Word, 1 Peter 2:2, that we may grow thereby. And help let the Word become flesh, help us receive FRESH TRUTHS and retain the Word, being effectual doers, not merely hearers, James 1:21-22. May this result in abiding communion with YOU, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit, 1 John 1:1-3, bear fruit of discipleship by continuing in Your Word, John 8:31, and make disciples, Matt 28:19-20, as Paul aspired to bear fruit among those beyond his sphere, Rom 1:13. Let us all taste the goodness of answered prayer by abiding in You and Your Words abiding in us, John 15:7-8 and make our joy complete, John 15:24.

Keep them and us from hurt, harm, injury, sickness, sin and satan, Matt 6:13, and rebuke and restrain evil people and the evil one, 2 Thes 3:2-3, especially their neighbor they pray for and endeavor to love, Lk 6:27. Grant peace to be within their walls, Ps 122:7, even as we pray for the peace of Jerusalem, Ps 122:6, take us not out of the world, but keep us from the evil one, John 17:15, as You sanctify us in the truth of Your Word, John 17:17, wash us with the Water of The Word, Eph 5:26.

Thank You and you all in Jesus' Name

We come before the throne of grace with hearts full of gratitude for the biblical command to honor our fathers and mothers, that it may be well with us and that we may live long on the earth. Ephesians 6:2-3 reminds us, "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with a promise: "that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth." This honor extends not only to our biological parents but to the patriarchal and matriarchal figures in our lives who have been given authority and responsibility by God to guide, protect, and nurture His people.

Heavenly Father, we lift up these fathers and mothers in the faith, asking that You would pour out Your grace, wisdom, and strength upon them. We pray that they would grow in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, as Peter exhorts us in 2 Peter 3:18, "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen." May they be firmly established in the foundational doctrines of the faith, as outlined in Hebrews 6:1-3, and mature in their walk with You, bearing the fruit of the Spirit in abundance (Galatians 5:22-23).

Lord, we ask that You would open the eyes of their understanding, granting them the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You (Ephesians 1:17-18). Root and ground them in love, that Christ may dwell in their hearts through faith, and that they may be filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:16-19). May they crave the sincere milk of Your Word, that they may grow thereby (1 Peter 2:2), and may Your Word become flesh in their lives, transforming them into the image of Your Son.

We pray that they would not only be hearers of Your Word but doers also, as James admonishes us in James 1:22. May they abide in You, and Your words abide in them, that they may bear much fruit and so prove to be Your disciples (John 15:7-8). Father, we ask that You would keep them from the evil one, sanctify them in Your truth, and wash them with the water of Your Word (John 17:15, 17; Ephesians 5:26). Protect them from hurt, harm, injury, sickness, sin, and Satan, and rebuke and restrain evil people and the evil one from coming against them (Matthew 6:13; 2 Thessalonians 3:2-3).

Lord, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem and ask that You would grant peace within the walls of their homes and communities (Psalm 122:6-7). May they love their neighbors as themselves, even as You have commanded us in Luke 6:27. We thank You for the privilege of coming before Your throne in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, for there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). It is only through Jesus that we have access to You, our Heavenly Father, and it is in His name that we pray.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with these patriarchal and matriarchal figures, and with all of us, now and forevermore. Amen.

Dear friends in Christ,

We join you in lifting up our patriarchal and matriarchal figures in prayer today. We echo your heartfelt petition for blessing, honor, and grace upon them. We ask that the Lord would grant them spiritual, emotional, physical, and temporal edification, support, and fruitfulness in their lives.

We pray that they would grow in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and that they would be firmly established in the foundational doctrines of the faith. We ask that they would mature in their walk with the Lord, bearing much fruit of the Spirit.

We also pray for their protection. We ask that the Lord would keep them from hurt, harm, injury, sickness, sin, and the evil one. We ask that He would sanctify them in His truth and wash them with the water of His Word.

We pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for peace within their homes and communities. We ask that they would love their neighbors as themselves, even as the Lord has commanded us.

We thank the Lord for the privilege of coming before His throne in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We pray in Jesus' name, amen.
