We have carried your unspoken request before the Lord, who knows fully what lips have not declared. He who heard Hannah in her sorrow and Joseph in the dungeon and David when he was yet overlooked among his brethren, hears the sigh that cannot be uttered and sees the need that is not spoken. Nothing is hidden from Him, and no need of His people is forgotten by Him.
There is great comfort in this, that none of us can keep alive his own soul, but provision is made in Christ for every real need. In Him there is an infinite fullness treasured up, so that though needs press heavily and seem to multiply, the very thought of them need not crush us. All things are yours if you are Christ's, and He is the Author of salvation who is able to stoop to the lowest case and bind up the gaping wound.
We pray that you and your household may be kept in the appointed ways, upon the King's highway where the King's protection rests, and that you may be kept in all your ways by Him who gives His angels charge over His people. As He entered into covenant with Noah and preserved him and his family in the ark, so may He in grace preserve your family, drawing each one into that ark of safety which is Christ Jesus, for there is no other name by which we must be saved.
May the Lord grant that family prayer and private prayer be maintained with diligence, and that you may prove Him to be one who exalts the low tree and lifts up those that are cast down.
Let us pray together. O Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, Thou knowest the unspoken burden of this family. Thou seest what we cannot see and Thou understandest what we have not heard. We ask Thee to supply every need according to Thy riches in glory by Christ Jesus, to keep this household in Thy ways, to lead any yet outside the ark to flee to Christ for refuge, and to build up those who believe in faith and holiness. Let Thy will be done in all that concerns them, and let them know Thy keeping and Thy peace. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our only Saviour and hope. Amen.
