- 0:35Speaker 1: for families. Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ,
- 0:40Speaker 1: we come before you with grateful hearts, acknowledging you as
- 0:44Speaker 1: the creator of every family, the author of every lineage,
- 0:48Speaker 1: and the keeper of every soul. Lord, you are the
- 0:51Speaker 1: one who sets the lonely in families and surrounds us
- 0:56Speaker 1: with people to love, people to grow with, and people
- 0:59Speaker 1: to walk through life beside. And so today God, we
- 1:03Speaker 1: lift up the family, every mother, every father, every husband,
- 1:09Speaker 1: every wife, every son, every daughter, every grandparent, every sibling,
- 1:16Speaker 1: every cousin, every auntie, uncle, blended bund and more. God,
- 1:22Speaker 1: we place our families in your hands. Father, we ask
- 1:27Speaker 1: that you would be the foundation of our homes and
- 1:30Speaker 1: our families. Where there's been division. God, you bring unity
- 1:34Speaker 1: where there's been silence. God, you bring communication where there's
- 1:37Speaker 1: been chaos. God, bring your peace that passes all understanding.
- 1:42Speaker 1: Let love rise up in our hearts again, real love,
- 1:46Speaker 1: selfless love, forgiving love, the kind of love that covers
- 1:50Speaker 1: a multitude of sin and reflects your own heart. For us, Lord,
- 1:57Speaker 1: we speak restoration over broken relationship ships. Heal the wounds
- 2:01Speaker 1: of betrayal. God, heal the wounds of disappointments and misunderstandings. God,
- 2:07Speaker 1: rebuild trust where it has been shattered. Tear down walls
- 2:10Speaker 1: of pride and bitterness and unforgiveness. And in their place, God,
- 2:15Speaker 1: what seeds of grace and reconciliation. Remind every family member
- 2:20Speaker 1: that we are not each other's enemies. Remind us that
- 2:24Speaker 1: the enemy is the accuser, who comes to steal, kill
- 2:28Speaker 1: and destroy. But you, God, came that we might have life,
- 2:32Speaker 1: and have it more abundantly. God, we pray for the parents. Lord,
- 2:36Speaker 1: strengthen them for the journey. Give wisdom to every mother
- 2:40Speaker 1: and father raising children in uncertain times. Surround them with support,
- 2:44Speaker 1: Give them deserned to lead, and love, courage to correct,
- 2:48Speaker 1: and compassion and endurance to keep showing up even when
- 2:52Speaker 1: they feel weary. God, we cover the children and the
- 2:55Speaker 1: youth in our families. God protects them body, mind and soul.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Shield them from harm, deception, and the lives of the enemies.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Let them grow in favor with You and with Man.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Fill them with boldness, God, purpose, and identity in Christ.
- 3:12Speaker 1: May they know they are fearfully and wonderfully made. May
- 3:15Speaker 1: they carry the legacy of faith into the next generation. God,
- 3:18Speaker 1: we speak peace over our households. We declare that no
- 3:22Speaker 1: weapon formed against our families shall prosper. We rebuke every
- 3:26Speaker 1: generational curse, every cycle of dysfunction, every spirit of addiction, violence, poverty,
- 3:32Speaker 1: and abandonment. Let the blood of Jesus speak a better
- 3:36Speaker 1: word over our homes. Lord, breathe on every marriage, Breathe
- 3:41Speaker 1: on every relationship, every connection. God, let your presence fill
- 3:45Speaker 1: every room, every dinner table, every breakfast table, every holiday,
