A DAILY PRAYER FOR MY FAMILY

Today I feel led to blog by praying for my family.  

If you like, you can use this to pray for yours each day as well.

Dear Lord Jesus Son of The Living God have mercy and hear my prayer for my wife, my adult children, my grandchildren and their spouses. 
 You know us all by name.

I come to you as our FATHER  in Heaven.  Grant us grace to have the spirit of wisdom and revelation to know YOU better today than we have ever known you before. 

So move by YOUR HOLY SPIRIT that our lives would bring glory and honor to YOUR Holy name. Come and be so intimate with us that we could not help but authentically be the light of the world and the city on a hill. By YOUR grace cause us to be like savory salt to put savor into the lives of those with whom we come into contact. May our very lives be formed in to the image of Christ Jesus. May YOUR Kingdom indeed come as You abide in us and we in YOU.

We want YOUR will to be done, O LORD, on Earth just like it is done in Heaven. We ask that YOUR will would be done in our hearts and lives like it is done in Heaven.   Give us grace to be filled with the knowledge of YOUR will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding, and thereby cause us to live lives worthy of YOU and please YOU in everyway ... bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to YOUR glorious might.  I pray this so that we would have great endurance and patience (even temperedness.) I pray this that we would joyfully be thankful because YOU have qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints!  YOU have rescued us from the dominion of darkness!  And YOU have brought us into the Kingdom of The Son of God whom YOU love,  in whom we do have redemption and the forgiveness of every sin!

YOU know our needs even before we ask, but we also know that we have not because we ask not.  Yes, today we do ask YOU to supply all of our needs according to YOUR riches in glory, but we ask more than that:  YOU have called us to serve YOU as new creations, Ministers of Reconciliation and as YOUR Ambassadors on this Earth. Give us whatever we need so as to fulfill this calling YOU have placed on each of our lives.

Forgive us when we sin, and give us supernatural grace to forgive anyone and everyone who sins against us.  Make us into merciful people, O LORD. For YOU teach us "Blessed are the merciful. For they shall obtain mercy." Set us free from holding on to that which really will torment us, which is unforgiveness.  For we realize flesh in blood is not our enemy, but the Devil and his demons are the ones who would hook us into having unmerciful hearts. Destroy the Devil's work in our lives, as YOU came and did indeed destroy his work on the Earth.  (1 John 3:8b)

Please don't lead us into temptation, but deliver us from all evil, the evil one and all harm.  Have mercy and maintain around these whom I love that completely powerful refuge, stronghold and fortress of YOUR hedge, YOUR bubble and YOUR shield of protection and prosperity.

I close this prayer for my family, LORD, recognizing that "it" is not about us and our mere short journey or lives on this Earth.  "It" is ALL about YOU!  "It's" about YOUR Kingdom,  "It's" about YOUR Power!  And it is about YOU receiving ALL THE GLORY FOREVER!

In Jesus Holy Name I pray,
AMEN!  

I daily commit to pray for my family, and I have been doing so for a very long while.  I take this opportunity to challenge you to do the same every single day God gives you breath.  Then ...

You Will Be Blessed Today
Especially 2day
And
Every Gift of A New Day

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #1 Therefore, anyone who hears the words of mine-- and puts them into practice -- is like a wise man who built his house on a rock: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house; yet, it did not fall, because it had its foundation on THE ROCK! BUT Everyone who hears these words of mine, and does NOT put them into practice, is like a foolish man who built his house on sand: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house. And IT FELL WITH A GREAT CRASH! Jesus (Matthew 7:24-27 S T O R M S Storms seem to come into everyone's life. Some experience more, and others experience less; however, the winds of adversity do, indeed, come. Some even howl like a Category-5  hurricane that beats relentlessly on the shores of people's lives. Dear Christ Follower, some of you know precisely what I am saying. And I am here to tell you Jesus provides us with Stepping Stones for

  The Challenge of Having An Unsavory Life. We live in a world where a whole lot of people are suffering:  Many struggle spiritually. Others,  because of their spiritual issue, have emotional struggles. Still others have relationships that are strained. Financial issues also may be added into the mix; additionally, physical challenges,  or health challenges, are a part of this. Mix a little high pace, and rarely slowing down in life, and you can see something is really going on impacting life in a negative way. In other words  all of these, plus any number of other things experienced in the 21st century, contribute to people experiencing unsavory lives. Jesus Speaking to You and M e Jesus has something to say about this. And He wants each of us to help out by, first beginning to embrace our identity. He wants us "become" so we match our identity, and if we don't, we really miss out and mess up.  Check out what He says, as He expressly tells us who we are. And as we actual

2024 Let God Help Make Your Life Beautiful

Ready or Not Here It Comes Leap year is upon us. Yep! We get to have one extra day on the calendar of 2024. And as the new year opens up before our very eyes, whatever we bring into this year -- good, bad, happy or sad -- will be a part of the fabric of this new year. For some of us this will be challenging. Why? Because some are really struggling with what is going on in our culture. Many are having to grapple with spiritual, emotional, relational, financial and/or physical struggles. And just because people are saying "HAPPY NEW YEAR" these challenges are still very real. So, how are we to get ready for this if the new year, in focus, appears anything but happy? But Remember -- God I have learned that when life meets us head on, it is important to think of all these challenges, but remember God:  As Christ Followers, you and I are not in this journey alone, and as the ancient wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3:11a teaches, "God makes ALL things beautiful in it's time."
