Chrysostom
Beloved of All
Your prayer for your family has been heard and we join you in lifting it before our merciful Father in the name of Jesus Christ, our only Savior and hope.
It is right to seek the Lord's protection over your home, your minds and your bodies, and to ask Him to establish His order over your health, your relationships and your daily needs. Scripture teaches us that God is everywhere present, He hears all things and sees all things, even what is in the depth of the soul. When we live with this holy awareness, we learn to serve the Lord with reverent fear and to rejoice with trembling, not with the restless anxiety that marks those who walk apart from Him. The one who is conscious of God's grace and seeks to bear fruit in good works can have confidence before Him, while the life lived without Him is full of pale and trembling fear.
You asked that spirits of fear, anxiety, confusion and sickness be uprooted, and that every assignment of the enemy be broken. The Word tells us that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind, and that perfect love casts out fear. He also calls us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling, knowing that it is God who works in us both to will and to work for His good pleasure. This is our true security and liberty. We are freed from needless anxiety not by our own curious searching or striving, but by trusting that Christ has triumphed, that His cross has broken the prison and that He is able to guard those who belong to Him. He does give His angels charge over His people, and He Himself is our wall and our keeper.
So we pray for you now.
Heavenly Father, we thank You that You are present with this family in every room of their home and in every circumstance they face. We ask in the name of Jesus Christ that You cover them with Your protecting hand, guard them from physical and spiritual harm, and grant them wisdom and discernment. Drive far from them the torment of fear and anxiety, and fill them with Your peace which passes understanding to guard their hearts and minds in Christ. Grant them health according to Your mercy, strengthen their love for one another in holiness and faithfulness, and provide for their needs as You order their steps. Teach them to hear Your Word carefully, to remember it continually, and to walk with courage and steadiness through every trial, trusting not in haste for deliverance but in Your faithful timing. Let Your will be done in their lives, and let all they do bring glory to Your name. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord we pray, Amen.
