DAY 20 | State: OH
DAILY TOPIC: Our Families
PRAYER FOR OUR FAMILIES
We pray for Your hand of healing and restoration of family and families in America, including my own. Thank You for designing a wonderful plan for family. We pray for the dignity and sanctity of the home. We ask You to guide and lead the rebuilding of the family in America. We ask for the family and the home to regain preeminence as the bedrock of our culture and our country. Show us, Lord, how to restore Your desires for the home as a place of security and stability. Lord, we pray for America’s mothers and fathers to live honorably, and for children to honor their fathers and mothers. Help us to honor and care for our elderly. Lead us to cherish and protect marital fidelity, preserving the foundation of families and the nation. Protect our children, Lord, from the sins of their parents. Return the hearts of mothers and fathers to our children. Turn our hearts to our families in this nation. We ask You, Lord, to show us how to break the chains of the sins of the generations that have been visited upon us. We plead with You, Lord, to heal and restore our marriages and families. Help me, Lord, to influence my family by speaking Your Truth and Your love into their daily lives. Bind our families together with Your unfailing love.
Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands love your wives, and do not be harsh with them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged (Colossians 3:18-21).
PRAYER FOR ISRAEL
Lord, thank you that the President recognized Jerusalem as the Biblical capital of Israel and moved our Embassy. We pray for peace and prosperity in Israel, and ask for an end to the violence and suffering. We pray for justice, and Your sovereign righteousness over Israel. We pray for mercy and Your Kingdom to rule over the land. Please protect the soldiers and civilians from bloodshed. Give wisdom to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Knesset (The legislature of Israel). May Israel remain strong, not dividing the land You gave as an inheritance to Your chosen people. May the United States continue to fully support Israel, the nation that gave us salvation through Jesus Christ.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, may they prosper that love thee (Psalm 122:6).
