PRAYING TOGETHER AS A FAMILY
|
Those that pay attention to the words of Scripture and give heed to advice from godly mentors, are described as wise. Those that have a teachable spirit and are endowed with understanding, are the men and women who learn godly wisdom and gain understanding. They are the ones that know how to apply the knowledge they have been taught. They are the ones who respond to the still small voice of the Lord. God, in His own wisdom and grace, set each one of us in families and expects children to be taught the things of God, from infancy, by their parents. Children are expected to learn how to live godly lives in their home environment. Training Up Children in the way that they should go, is a biblical principle that is acted out in the lives of many Bible characters. Indeed, the young Lord Jesus, Himself, became knowledgeable in the Scripture as a child - and competent in joinery, for He was described as 'the carpenter's son'. Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.  Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for placing us in families and for giving us the understanding that parents are ordained by You, to train up their children in the reverential fear of the Lord. In a world where honor and respect for parents and older mentors is becoming increasingly scorned, we pray that children and young people would be willing to listen to words of instruction from their fathers and to hold fast to the teachings they receive from their mothers. We pray Your protection over Christian families everywhere. May Your name be honored and respected by old and young alike, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN. Our God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is unchanging and changeless and His righteousness abides forever. The Lord has established His throne in judgement and His sovereign authority rules over all. He shall avenge the innocent and He will administer justice for all, He is a refuge for the oppressed and a stronghold for all who put their trust in Him. We are not only to trust Him when the great giants of opposition and oppression are put to flight, but we are to Keep On Trusting Him when our faith in God is severely tried, when we are insulted and persecuted, and when others say all kinds of evil against us falsely for Christ's sake, He is a faithful God Who does not change, He abides forever, and He has established His throne in the heavens for righteous judgement and everlasting peace. The LORD reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment.  Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the great encouragement from the wonderful Word of God. How we praise You that the day is coming when You will judge the ungodly in righteousness. Help us to look to You no matter what difficulties and dangers arise in our lives. May our trust in You be strengthened with every passing day, as we continue to prove Your faithfulness to the truth of Your Word. Praise God that Your Word abides forever and that You have established Your throne in righteousness and justice. In Jesus' name, AMEN. Today, we are flooded with worldly wisdom and swamped with knowledge and instruction from every section of humanity, but unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain to build it. Unless our knowledge is founded on a fear of the Lord, and unless our wisdom is established from on high, we run the risk of becoming wise in our own understanding - rather than fools for Christ. How important to trust in the LORD with all our heart, to acknowledge Him in all our ways, and not to lean on our own understanding, for to do so demonstrates a prideful respect for self and not a reverential fear of the Lord. Jesus Is The Foundation upon which our knowledge is founded, and He alone commands our reverential fear, humble worship, and eternal devotion, in Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, and we are positioned in Him. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.  Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for loving us and convicting us of sin, righteousness, and judgement, and thank You that by faith in Christ we have been brought into Your kingdom and placed into His Body. To You alone belongs our reverential fear, humble worship, and eternal devotion, through time and into eternity. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN. Whether you stand gazing at the deep midnight-blue sky where a multitude of shimmering diamond-studded stars are twinkling overhead or whether you pick up an authoritative journal that outlines the staggering dimensions and design of the Milky Way, the innumerable numbers of other gigantic galaxies or countless number of stars that are visible to the human eye, you can do little more than wonder about Our Astonishing Creator Who, at a moment before time began and in a place before space was created, spoke the world into being. While the Lord set the sun and moon in place to govern the day and the night, it was man who was made in the image of God who was ordained to rule over the earth as God's appointed regent. God created man to have dominion over the fish of the sea, the fowl of the air, the cattle, and over all the earth and every creeping thing that creep upon the earth. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,  Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, we stand amazed when we consider the insignificance of humans in the context of the splendors of the extended universe, and yet, You loved us so much that You gave Your only begotten Son to pay the price for our sins. For this we give You eternal praise and glory. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. The day of grace is still open for all who will trust in Him for salvation, but the day of reckoning is fast approaching when our enemies will realize the folly of their ways and will suddenly become ashamed. No matter how desperate our circumstances may be, and despite being encircled by those who hate us, abuse us, and say all manner of evil against us falsely, we can call on the name of the Lord and know that He Hears Our Prayers and cares for all His children. God does not always remove the painful circumstances in this life, but, He will give us the strength to come through victoriously, and by His grace will give us a deeper knowledge and understanding of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.  Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the book of Psalms which provides such encouragement and hope when we find ourselves immersed in sorrow and pain, or being mocked and abused by those who despise us. Help us to submit to You, resist the devil, and maintain our hope in Christ. We know that the time is fast approaching when You will right all wrongs and judge the world in righteousness. Search our hearts, we pray, and show us if there is any sin that needs to be confessed. Thank You that we have the strength to come through every circumstance of life victoriously, when we keep our eyes on Jesus and maintain our faith in His unchanging Word. Thank You, in Jesus' name, AMEN. Satanic accusations against the goodness and grace of God are still being whispered into the ears of believers today as we, like Job, continue to be compassed about by many forms of suffering and misfortune, persecution and pain, destitution and danger, heart-aches and affliction, the sword and a martyrs death. But in His strength, We Must Stand Firm on the solid truth of Scripture, trusting without wavering on the inerrant Word of God, rejecting the enemy's ploys that cause us to doubt God's precious promises, while rejecting anything contrary to the glorious truth of the gospel of grace. In Christ, we too can prove the wicked allegations against the goodness of God to be fictitious and false so that like Job we can bring honor to His name and be able to declare: My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.  Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for this amazing insight into Your person and character. Help us, in the power of Your Spirit, to stand fast in the evil days, resist the wiles of the enemy, and the accusations of Satan. Help us stand firm on the unchangeable Word of truth, to hear You speak to us from Your Word, and to see You more clearly as we search the Scriptures. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN. When we are encompassed by our enemies, ill in body, distressed in mind, and spiritually sapped, we should remember that the many precious promises of God to all His children, are 'yes' and 'amen' in Christ. And let us never forget that IN HIM we have access to the heavenly throne of grace for mercy to find help in time of need. But we need to approach Him reverently, prayerfully, and with confidence that He Hears And Answers Prayer. Our prayers and supplications should be done with a heart of praise and thanksgiving, a heart that not only trusts Him to keep His WORD, but a heart ready to say: "Thy will not mine be done." The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.  Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that You are a God that hears and answers prayer. Help us to look to You to supply all our needs, according to Your riches in glory. Keep us from looking at the circumstances of life, but let us look to Christ, our Lives and our Healer, our Shield and our Defender, our Hope and our Salvation. And we pray that we never take Your precious promises for granted, but give You the reverence and glory due to Your name. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN. It was once said that the Son of God is revealed TO us by the teaching of men, but the Son of God is revealed IN us by the illumination of the Holy Spirit. This was the thrilling outcome of Job's encounter with God and this is the lesson of faith and trust that God desires for all His children to understand; that God Can Do Anything and God has the right to do whatsoever He will, and nothing that He plans and purposes is impossible, for He alone is God. “I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted.  Our United Prayer:
Dear Father God, when we look at the heavens and the wonderful works that You have made, what is man that You are mindful of us and yet You chose us - You chose us to be Your children. Let us live in humble submission to the leading of Your Spirit, knowing that in us dwells no good thing. I know that You can do all things and nothing that You plan is impossible. Thank You, in Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. None of us are exempt from the trials, tribulations, and temptations of life, nor are we immune to the disappointments, discouragements, and dangers that we may meet. But we all have the choice to become a man or woman after God's own heart by trusting Him in every eventuality of life, by beginning each day in prayer and praise, and by engaging in ongoing fellowship with our Father in heaven. The consequences of living in a sinful world are pain and sorrow, but from the time that we wake until the moment our head touches the pillow in the night-time hours, we have a choice to Seek The Lord In All Things and to submit to the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Let us choose to walk in spirit and truth all the days of our life, to depend on the Lord from morning 'til night, to submit our lives to the guidance of the Spirit of God, and to pray: "Lead me in Your righteousness; make Your way straight before my face." Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies— make your way straight before me.  Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, lead us in Your righteous ways, for we have many enemies and some who wish us evil. Make Your way straight before our faces, we pray, and may Your will not mine be done, to Your praise and glory. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN. Elements of the infinite knowledge and eternal wisdom of Almighty God are laid out in a few chapters in the book of Job, and a reading of God's creative power and almighty wisdom, confronts each one of us with our own insignificance and limited understanding, as it did with Job. None of us have a right to know God's plans and purposes or to question His sovereign ways, and yet he has laid out His entire redemption plan in the Bible. He has scheduled every day of every life and He knows what is best for each one of us. This simple verse makes it very clear that we can Trust Him With Our Lives and our families, even when we do not understand. May we be willing to acknowledge our own limitation and trust Him in every eventuality of our lives. “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand.  Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, it is very humbling to realize that Your wisdom and understanding is infinite and unknowable and yet, in Your grace, You have shared Your plan of redemption with Your fallen creatures. Father, when we don't understand the difficulties we are going through in our own lives, we pray that we may trust You in all things and never doubt Your perfect plans and purposes. We know that You are sovereign and Your way is best. Help us to live by faith and not by sight. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN. |
