Abba Father,
We thank You for Your concept of 'family', as first established with Adam and Eve and their offspring. We also thank You for free will, tempered with an indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Although the first family made choices that were ultimately against Your will, we also see in Your word the complete plans that You wished for the family unit. Today we celebrate the true calling that You have established for families...to love and to honor one another. The very fact that the family is meant to be lead by a man and a woman confirms Your plans for oneness! As a man is to leave his family and be united to his wife, the family is meant to become one unit as well.
Father, we pray for the unity of families. That our mortal flesh would not choose to separate what You have planned to be whole and united. That we would not give into the devil's scheme to despise our family members, or hurt them in any way. That the Holy Spirit would lead not only the parents in each family unit to follow Your will, but also the children who have been given as blessings. In this world failing to drugs, abuse, divorce, murder, sexual perversion, adultery, and every plan of the enemy, we pray for strength against our weak flesh. Guide us in Your word, so that we may live as righteous members of Your eternal family. Protect the children born into this world from the many dangers that threaten their precious lives.
Father, may You rend heaven to return to our schools, homes, and places of worship. May the American family be lead to unite tighter than ever before, and may fathers and mothers lead as Christ would lead.
In Jesus' name we pray. Amen!
