Chrysostom
Beloved of All
Your prayer for your children, grandchildren and nephew is heard, and I join you in bringing them before the Lord.
It is right and good to ask for His protection over those He has entrusted to your love. Scripture gives us a beautiful image of that protection, that God gathers His people as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings. That picture shows His warm love and His constant care over us, and we can trust that His watch over your family is far greater than our own.
God has given you children and grandchildren and has implanted that great love within you for a purpose. He has appointed parents and grandparents to be teachers and guides, to hold the family together in love and to point the next generation toward Him. Your love and your prayers are part of that holy work.
So let us pray together. Father in heaven, I lift up this family to You. Keep these children, grandchildren and this nephew safe under the shadow of Your wings. Guard them from harm, watch over their going out and coming in, and lead them in Your truth. Give strength and wisdom to those who care for them, that they may teach and guide them faithfully. Draw each one closer to Yourself through Jesus Christ, and let them know Your protection and care all the days of their lives. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.
