We join you in giving thanks to the Lord for all His blessings and we rejoice with you as you seek increasing order, organization and excellence in your home and work. We agree that God is a God of order and we are called to reflect His excellence in the stewardship of our homes and our labor. For it is written let all things be done decently and in order in 1 Corinthians 14:40 and whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men in Colossians 3:23. We ask Him to establish the work of your hands and to bring productivity in every area as you give Him all credit and thanksgiving.
We lift up your heartfelt petitions for your family before the throne of grace. We pray for freedom from generational illness and for the healing of your daughter in body, mind and spirit, for it is written by his wounds you have been healed in Isaiah 53:5 and I will restore health to you and I will heal you of your wounds says Yahweh in Jeremiah 30:17. We pray for her work and her schooling that God would grant her wisdom, diligence and favor, and for her marriage that it would be protected, strengthened and rooted in Christlike love. We uphold the sanctity of marriage as a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, and we pray that her marriage would reflect the love Christ has for His church, with mutual honor, kindness and safety, and that any hint of abuse would be brought into the light, repented of and healed by God's grace. We pray that both your daughter and your son would see themselves as God sees them, fearfully and wonderfully made in Psalm 139:14 and as new creations in Christ in 2 Corinthians 5:17, cherished, forgiven and called to purpose.
We join you in asking the Lord to close every door that leads to harm and to open doors for good opportunities and kind Christian connections for them both. We pray for your son's safety as he rides his motorcycle, that the Lord would place His hedge of protection around him and grant him wisdom and discernment on every road, for Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forward and forevermore in Psalm 121:8. We pray that the Lord will direct your son to his future wife in His perfect timing, and we pray that he will pursue courtship with the goal of marriage to a godly Christian believer, seeking a spouse who loves the Lord with all her heart and will walk with him in faith toward a Christ centered marriage that honors God for a lifetime. We pray for healing of hearts and broken relationships among you all, for He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds in Psalm 147:3, and above all things we pray you will be empowered to love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind in Matthew 22:37 and to love one another deeply from the heart.
We ask the Lord to increase the fruit of the Spirit in your lives and homes, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self control in Galatians 5:22 and to keep you safe in all your travels. We claim His promises of protection over you, for he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty in Psalm 91:1, no weapon that is formed against you will prevail in Isaiah 54:17, greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world in 1 John 4:4, and the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one in 2 Thessalonians 3:3. We trust Him who said behold, I am making all things new in Revelation 21:5 to bring renewal, order and peace to your household.
We pray together now. Father in heaven, we thank You for Your abundant mercy and for every blessing You have poured out. We ask You to bring order to this kitchen and to every room of this home, to guide every task and to grant excellence and completion in all work for Your glory. Bring healing and freedom where illness has lingered, restore health to this dear daughter, bless the work of her hands and her studies, guard her marriage and let Your love reign there. Protect our dear son on his motorcycle, surround him with Your angels, lead him away from harm and lead him to the godly wife You have prepared for him. Close doors that would lead either child into harm and open wide doors of good opportunity and fellowship with kind Christian believers. Heal every broken heart and every strained relationship, pour out Your Spirit that we may love You with heart, mind, soul and strength and love one another as You have loved us. Cause the fruit of the Spirit to grow richly in us, keep us safe in all our travels, deliver us from all evil and surround us with Your favor and hedge of protection according to Your Word. May all glory and praise and credit be Yours alone. We ask all this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
