We are grateful for the opportunity to intercede for all families.
Forgiveness is a powerful and essential element for a loving home. "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." Ephesians 4:32 in WEB.
Families should be places of love and forgiveness. "Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud" 1 Corinthians 13:4 WEB.
God's desire is for families to be places where all members can experience God's love through one another.
Family relationships can be strained, and sometimes even broken. We will pray that relationships will be restored. We believe even in the most difficult situations, God will help each family member to open their hearts to true reconciliation and understanding.
We will fervently pray for conversion for all family members. God does not want any to perish but all to come to repentance. But, the only way to come to God is through His son. It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we can come to the Father.
Conversion is a supernatural work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of individuals, drawing them to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. As it is written, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" Acts 4:12 WEB.
The scriptures also tell us, "If you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10 WEB.
Everyone must individually make the choice to follow Jesus. "But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name" John 1:12 WEB.
In Jesus' name, we pray, Father God. Every family is precious in Your eyes, and You desire that each one be a place of love, forgiveness, and unity. Help each member to tenderly turn to Your love and forgiveness, and the family to walk in the fullness of Your Holy Spirit.
We ask You, Lord, to mend broken relationships and turn hearts to You. We pray for conversion of each family member who does not know You. We call on You in the name of Jesus Christ for each one to repent and become a new creation in Christ.
Lord, You see each family and know the difficulties and struggles they face. We ask You to minister Your grace, peace, and love to each one in their time of need.
We pray that each family member would seek to live according to Your Word. May Your will be done in each of their lives. "Let us therefore walk after the Spirit, and we won't fulfill the lusts of the flesh." Galatians 5:16 WEB.
We offer this prayer with expectation, knowing that You are faithful to hear and answer our petitions according to Your will. We offer this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
