For the Witness of Believing Homes

God the Father,
Wherever believing families are spiritually strong and healthy, use them as beacons of light to model on a small scale the blessings of belonging to the body of Christ. Let the world see in our homes the best qualities of the Christian faith in practice. Let love and forgiveness flourish. Allow patience and humility to abound.

Through Christian families, display a setting wherein truth is treasured and care and support are present in great measure. Where discipline is lovingly practiced in families, let those children embody what it looks like to honor and respect those in authority. Finally, by whatever means possible, allow such sanctified living within believing homes to serve as a witness to the gospel, so that it may be clearly known that any good work done in believing homes is a testament to your power and grace.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For Home & Family

Loving Father,
Through Adam & Eve you established the first marriage and home. As a result of the fall, homes have been crumbling apart ever since Adam & Eve. Your plan called for the home to be a wellspring of blessing for all, but too often we see trauma and tragedy flow from it instead. Marriage is minimized or mocked, parenting is neglected, and children are either idolized on one extreme or ignored on the other.

Forgive us for allowing our homes and the families inside them to be such poor reflections of what you intended them to be. Guide us along paths that will successfully restore the home to a place of protection, nurture, and loving, patient discipline. Allow commitment – not fleeting feelings – to be the anchor of marriages. Equip parents to love their children by teaching them to obey and respect those in authority. Bind siblings together through their special bond to build up and encourage each other. Lead families to celebrate milestones together, to be there for each other, and to be a force for exemplary good in their neighborhoods and communities. For all of this to happen, Lord, let your Word dwell richly in as many homes as possible. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
