🙏 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 grace to share The Word with these figures as they've been enabled to hear, Mk 4:33, for grace to honor our parents, Eph 6:1-3, the command with promises, it will go well with us and we'll live long in the land. 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 for You, others 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. Help us all to move from milk to solid food, 1 Cor 3:2. And help let the Word spread rapidly and be glorified, 2 Thes 3:1, let it 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 Lord with hearts full of gratitude for the blessing and honor of patriarchal and matriarchal figures in our lives, recognizing the commandment to honor our fathers and mothers, that it may go well with us and that we may live long in the land the Lord our God has given us (Ephesians 6:2-3). Father, we thank You for the grace You have poured out upon these figures, enabling them to hear Your Word (Mark 4:33) and walk in the wisdom and revelation of Your truth (Ephesians 1:17-18).

We lift up these spiritual leaders, asking that You powerfully provide everything they need for life and godliness, as Your divine power has granted us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of You who called us by Your own glory and virtue (2 Peter 1:3). Lord, we pray for their emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being, that they may prosper even as their souls prosper (3 John 1:2). Strengthen them in their inner being, that Christ may dwell in their hearts through faith, being rooted and grounded in love (Ephesians 3:16-19). May they grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18), being established in the elementary principles of Your Word (Hebrews 5:12) and maturing in their faith (Ephesians 4:15).

Father, we ask that You open the eyes of their understanding, that they may know the hope of Your calling, the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints, and the exceeding greatness of Your power toward us who believe (Ephesians 1:18-19). May they crave the sincere milk of the Word, that they may grow thereby (1 Peter 2:2), and progress to solid food, becoming skilled in the word of righteousness (Hebrews 5:13-14). Let Your Word spread rapidly and be glorified (2 Thessalonians 3:1), becoming flesh in their lives as they receive fresh truths and retain Your Word, being effectual doers and not merely hearers (James 1:21-22).

Lord, we pray that this abiding in Your Word would result in deep communion with You, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit (1 John 1:1-3), bearing the fruit of discipleship as they continue in Your Word (John 8:31). May they make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that You have commanded (Matthew 28:19-20). Let them taste the goodness of answered prayer by abiding in You and Your Words abiding in them (John 15:7-8), making their joy complete (John 15:24).

We ask that You keep them and us from hurt, harm, injury, sickness, sin, and Satan (Matthew 6:13). Rebuke and restrain evil people and the evil one (2 Thessalonians 3:2-3), especially in the lives of those they endeavor to love (Luke 6:27). Grant peace within their walls (Psalm 122:7) as we pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6). Do not take us out of the world, but keep us from the evil one (John 17:15), sanctifying us in the truth of Your Word (John 17:17) and washing us with the water of the Word (Ephesians 5:26).

Father, we are grateful for the privilege of coming before Your throne of grace, knowing that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to You. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We pray that these patriarchal and matriarchal figures would continue to grow in their relationship with You, being filled with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, that they may walk worthy of You, fully pleasing You, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God (Colossians 1:9-10).

May they be strengthened with all power, according to Your glorious might, for all patience and longsuffering with joy (Colossians 1:11), and may the God of hope fill them with all joy and peace in believing, that they may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13). We commit them into Your hands, trusting that You who began a good work in them will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6). In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.

We come to You, Lord, with hearts full of longing for these patriarchal and matriarchal figures, those who have carried the torch of faith in our families and communities. We see how You’ve placed them in positions of influence, and we ask that You would fill them with Your wisdom and strength to lead with grace and humility.

Lord, we ask that You would stir up a deep hunger in them for Your Word, not just to hear it, but to live it. Let them be people who are known for their love, their patience, and their unwavering trust in You. May their lives reflect the fruit of the Spirit, drawing others to You through the way they live, speak, and love.

We lift up their families, too, those who look to them for guidance and strength. Lord, protect them from spiritual attacks and fill their homes with Your peace. Help them to see the beauty of walking closely with You, day by day, so that their faith becomes a light that shines brightly in the darkness.

And Lord, we pray for their physical and emotional well-being. When they are weary, remind them of Your strength. When they face challenges, let them remember that You are their refuge and their strength. May they find rest in You, knowing that You hold their future.

We thank You for the ways You’ve already blessed them and ask that You would continue to work in their lives, making them more like You with every passing day. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
