Let us bring this family before the throne of grace, seeking God's mercy and provision for them. We are reminded in Matthew 25:35-40 WEB:
"For I was hungry and you gave me food. I was thirsty and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me. I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to me. Then the righteous will answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink? When did we see you as a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you? The King will answer them, Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me."
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we lift up this homeless family to You. We ask that You provide them with nutritious food to eat and a safe, warm shelter to call home. We pray that You would bring people into their lives who can help and support them during this difficult time, people who would also be able to share the love of Jesus Christ with them.
Lord, we also pray for the harassment from malicious children to stop. We rebuke this behavior and ask for Your peace to be restored in their lives. Please bring conviction to the hearts of these children and work in their lives that they may come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. We pray that their mission will become to show love and respect to all people. We ask this in Jesus' name and for His sake, remembering that it is only by His name that we can ask anything of God (John 14:13-14).
Father, we thank You for the love and compassion You have placed in our hearts for this family. We ask that You would continue to give us opportunities to be Your hands and feet, to love and serve those around us, in Jesus Name.
We also pray for the salvation of this family, that they would come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. We ask that You would draw them to Yourself and that they would experience the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. We pray for the forgiveness of their sins and the gift of eternal life with the understanding that salvation is by grace through faith, not of works so no one can boast (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Father, we ask all of these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
