Father God,

Today, I pray again for families that they might be strengthened, protected, and filled with joy in You. There are so many forces coming against families in our present world. The world is trying to redefine what a family is. The fallen nature of this world afflicts so many families with illness or strife. The pressures of caring for a family financially often takes parents away from their children or from each other.

I pray that Your presence would provide for each family who calls upon Your Name, seeking Your provision. I pray that You would meet them in their needs with Your abundance. I pray that You would heal the illnesses which plague them. I pray that You would defend them from the world’s persecutions as they follow You. I pray that You would heal the relational strife which torments and divides so many families.

I pray that Your Mighty Right Hand would come down and move their mountains, smooth out their paths, turn their deserts into overflowing harvests, and set them free from the enemy’s oppressions.

In Christ’s Name,

Amen.
