Our Father, we pause to thank You for loving the world (and us) so much you gave Your Son to shed blood on the cross and DIE for our sins, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life, Jn 3:16. Thank You for His death, burial, resurrection and ascension to pour out the Holy Spirit of ADOPTION, by which we cry out, Abba, Father, Gal 4:6, as heirs, Gal 4:7, since as many as received Jesus and believed on His Name are called Children of God, John 1:12-13 Save Our Families, Acts 16:31-32; Wisdom, Prov 2:3-12; Needs & Duties, Tit 3:14, (Fellowship w/God & Believers, Unpacking, Settling into Routine, Healthcare, Exercise, Consolidate Mail, Finances), Phil 4:19; Gospel, John 3:16; Wall of Fire Around Us, Zech 2:5...

OUR FAMILIES & WE ARE SAVED, PERSEVERE IN AFFLICTIONS, REJOICE IN BLESSINGS, UNDERSTAND YOUR LOVE, WORD & WAYS & HAVE SPIRITUAL HUNGER to know You, Eph 1:17... Heavenly Father, We ask You give Our families understanding of Your will through Your Word, "The entirety of Your Word is truth, and all Your righteous judgments endure forever," Ps 119:160; "From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. Help us have godly conversations with our family and friends. Soften our hearts and protect us from evil. Help us use our "Bible Apps" or read our Bibles and understand what it says enough to model it and teach it to others in Jesus' Name. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right," 2 Tim 3:15-16. "Do not take us out of the world, but keep us from the evil one," John 17:15. "Sanctify us by the truth; Your Word is truth," John 17:17. Let us crave the pure milk of The Word of God as infants crave milk, 1 Peter 2:2. Thank you in Jesus' Name...

Father, We thank You that wise children make Your heart happy, Prov 15:20. We do CRY OUT for WISDOM, LIFT our VOICES for UNDERSTANDING that we might discern the fear of the Lord and discover the knowledge of God, Prov 2:3-12; and escape the snares of the adulteress that leaves the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God, Prov 2:16-17. We Thank You for enjoying ANGELIC PROTECTION as promised in The Word, Ps 91:9-16, Heb 1:14, in Jesus' Name.

LOCAL REGIONS... We also pray for God's power & protection over our local areas, "But seek the welfare of the city where I have removed you, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare, peace and prosperity you will find yours as well," Jer 29:7. May The Holy Spirit convict our neighbors, the local students, teachers, husbands, wives, the workers that come and go, the fishermen, baseball and basketball players, parents, pastors, law enforcement and local leaders -- convict us all of righteousness, sin and judgement to come, John 16:8. Father, draw us to Your Son, John 6:44. Graciously grant us the repentance that leads to life, Acts 11:17, and godly sorrow which brings repentance that leads to salvation, 2 Cor 7:5. Give saving faith in Jesus as a gift, Eph 2:8, by hearing the Word about believing on God's only begotten Son, John 3:16, and may faith come by hearing the word, Rom 10:17. Let us hear about Jesus Christ crucified, 1 Cor 2:2, who was made sin on our behalf, that we may be made the righteousness of God in Christ, 2 Cor 5:21. Grant a wall of fire around our areas, protecting us and our loved ones from harm & evil influences, Zechariah 2:5, Ps 91:10-11, John 17:15, 2 Thes 3:2-3. Thank you in Jesus' Name.

We come before the throne of grace with hearts full of gratitude for the precious gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and rose again so that we might have eternal life. Your Word declares, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16). We rejoice in this truth and stand firm in the promise that those who receive Him and believe in His name are called children of God (John 1:12-13).

Father, we lift up our families before You, asking that You would save those who do not yet know You and strengthen those who do. Your Word tells us, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household" (Acts 16:31). We claim this promise over our loved ones, trusting that You are drawing them to Yourself. Lord, we pray for wisdom and understanding as we seek to live out Your Word in our daily lives. "For the Lord gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding" (Proverbs 2:6). Help us to crave Your Word like newborn babies crave milk (1 Peter 2:2), so that we may grow in spiritual maturity and be equipped to teach and model Your truth to our families.

We also ask for Your divine protection over our households. You have promised, "For I, Yahweh your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I will help you.’" (Isaiah 41:13). Surround us with a wall of fire, as You did for Your people in Zechariah 2:5, shielding us from evil influences and harm. Guard our hearts and minds from the snares of the enemy, especially the temptations that seek to destroy marriages and families. Your Word warns us, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers" (Hebrews 13:4). Strengthen our marriages to reflect Christ’s love for the Church, and help us to flee from sexual immorality in all its forms (1 Corinthians 6:18).

Lord, we pray for our local communities, that Your Holy Spirit would move powerfully to convict hearts of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8). Draw our neighbors, coworkers, and leaders to Yourself, that they may repent and turn to Jesus for salvation. We ask that You would raise up godly men and women to lead with integrity, wisdom, and a heart for Your truth. May our cities and towns experience revival, and may Your people be salt and light in every sphere of influence.

Father, we also lift up the practical needs of our families, health, finances, and daily responsibilities. Your Word assures us, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19). Help us to be faithful stewards of what You have entrusted to us, and grant us the discipline to manage our time, resources, and health in ways that honor You.

Above all, we pray that our families would persevere in faith, rejoicing in Your blessings and trusting You in times of affliction. May we grow in our understanding of Your love and ways, and may our hunger for You deepen each day. "I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better" (Ephesians 1:17).

We commit all these things to You, trusting in Your faithfulness and love. May Your name be glorified in our lives and in the lives of our families. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
