We join you in lifting up this precious Christian family before the throne of grace, parents with their young child and infant, and we thank you for standing in the gap for them with the Word of God on your heart.
We are encouraged by the scripture you have prayed, for it is true and faithful. Behold, Yahweh’s eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness; to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine. Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield. Psalm 33:18-20. What a comfort to know that the Lord sees this family, that His eye is upon them in their need, and that He is their help and shield as they wait upon Him.
We also cling to the promise that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1. Though they may be facing famine, whether physical, financial, or spiritual, the Lord is able to keep them alive and to rescue their souls from distress. The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Psalm 34:17.
We rejoice that you have asked this in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and it is in His name that our prayers are heard. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. John 14:6.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this family to You. You know their names, their needs, their struggles, and the cries of their hearts even before they are spoken. We ask that You would be their help and their shield. Rescue their souls from death and keep them alive in famine, as Your Word promises. Provide for every need according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19. Spread Your protection over the parents and over these little ones, guard their health, give them daily bread, give them peace in their home, and strengthen their faith as they wait for You. Let them know in a tangible way that Your eye is upon them and that You will not forsake those who fear You and hope in Your loving kindness. Sustain them, keep them in Your perfect care, and let their testimony be of Your faithfulness. We ask that You would draw this family even closer to You and to one another in this season. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord we pray, Amen.
