7 Days
of Praying for Your Family
It's
time to pray.
Have
you been concerned about your family lately?
So
often, we remember to pray for other people, but we forget to pray for
ourselves and for those closest to us. We simply forget the power of prayer and
that God longs for us to be in prayer with Him! He especially desires for each
of us to be in prayer about our family, the people closest to us. To help you
pray for yourself and for your family, here is a short, bullet-point, seven-day
prayer guide that covers nearly every aspect of life.
DAY 1
Honor
EXODUS 20:12
Pray for
your parents:
•
Ask God to bless them.
•
Pray that they would be treated with honor, dignity, and respect by everyone
they encounter.
•
Pray that they also would honor all people.
Pray for
yourself:
•
Pray that you would see your parents the same way God sees them and love them
the way He loves them.
•
Pray that you would always show honor and respect to your parents.
•
Ask God to help you forgive all their failings from your heart.
Pray for
your children:
•
Ask God to help your kids show godly honor to you (and any other parents) the
way God’s Word prescribes.
•
Pray for your children to live long lives in the land their Father gives them.
•
Ask The Lord to give your children a keen sense of honor toward all their
authority figures (pastors, teachers, etc).
