Prayer plan for the week
Family unity begins with unity with Christ
«Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.»
- Monday
Love for God — the foundation of a strong family
Key verse
Matthew 22:37–38
«You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind…»
Reflection
A strong family does not begin with favorable circumstances but with each person's personal relationship with God. When Christ holds first place in the hearts of husband, wife, parents and children, love, peace and unity become the natural fruit of the Holy Spirit's work. The closer we are to the Lord, the closer we become to one another.
Prayer needs
- That every member of the family would love the Lord with all their heart.
- For a hunger for prayer and for reading God's Word.
- That the Holy Spirit would change our hearts every day.
- For protection of the family from temptation, spiritual coldness and the influence of the world.
- For the physical and spiritual health of everyone.
- That the Lord would bless our homes with His peace.
- That the whole family would live for the glory of God.
- Tuesday
